text: In ages past when spells were cast
  In a time of men in steel
  When a man was taught no special thing
  It was all done by feel
  So listen, so learn, so read on
  You got to turn the page
  Read the Book of Taliesyn
  Hear the song of lovely Joan
  Her sound so sweet and clear
  In the courtroom of the King
  Among children and the peers
  So listen, so learn, so read on
  You got to turn the page
  Read the Book of Taliesyn
  Now hear ye the words of Taliesyn
  On the foaming beach of the ocean
  In the day of trouble
  I shall be of more service to thee
  Than three hundred salmon
  The hare he bounds across the page
  Past castles white and fair
  Past dreaming chessmen on their boards
  With a fools mate as a snare
  So listen, so learn, so read on
  You got to turn the page
  Read the Book of Taliesyn
  Three times I have been born
  I know this from meditation
  The bird he flies the distance
  From pages two to six
  Past minstrels in their boxes
  To the waters of the Styx
  So listen, so learn, so read on
  You got to turn the page
  Read the Book of Taliesyn
  Dont take the pictures lightly
  Listen to their sound
  For from their coloured feeling
  Experience is found
  So listen, so learn, so read on
  You got to turn the page
  Read the Book of Taliesyn
  All the sciences of the world
  Are collected in my breast
  For I know what has been, what is now
  And what hereafter will occur
