n ages past when spells were cast<br /> In a time of men in steel<br /> When a man was taught no special thing<br /> It was all done by feel<br /> <br /> So listen, so learn, so read on<br /> You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn<br /> <br /> Hear the song of lovely Joan<br /> Her sound so sweet and clear<br /> In the courtroom of the King<br /> Among children and the peers<br /> <br /> So listen, so learn, so read on<br /> You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn<br /> <br /> &quot;Now hear ye the words of Taliesyn,<br /> on the foaming beach of the ocean,<br /> in the day of trouble,<br /> I shall be of more service to thee<br /> than three hundred salmon...&quot;<br /> <br /> The hare he bounds across the page<br /> Past castles white and fair<br /> Past dreaming chessmen on their boards<br /> With a fool's mate as a snare<br /> <br /> So listen, so learn, so read on<br /> You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn<br /> <br /> &quot;Three times I have been born<br /> I know this from meditation...&quot;<br /> <br /> The bird he flies the distance<br /> From pages two to six<br /> Past minstrels in their boxes<br /> To the waters of the Styx<br /> <br /> So listen, so learn, so read on<br /> You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn<br /> <br /> Don't take the pictures lightly<br /> Listen to their sound<br /> For from their coloured feeling<br /> Experience is found<br /> <br /> So listen, so learn, so read on<br /> You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn<br /> <br /> &quot;All the sciences of the world are collected in my breast,<br /> for I know what has been, what is now,<br /> and what hereafter will occur...&quot;
