Grafton Street (Stephens, set by T. Dobson) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


At four o'clock, in dainty talk, 
Lords and lovely ladies walk, 
With a gentle dignity, 
From the Green to Trinity. 

And at five o'clock they take, 
In a Cafe, tea and cake, 
Then they call a carriage, and 
Drive back into fairyland.
