epilogue and funeral march - benjamin britten lyrics

Loading...

our hunting fathers told the story
of the sadness of the creatures
pitied the limits and the lack
set in their finished features;
saw in the lion’s intolerant look
behind the quarry’s dying glare
love raging for the personal glory
that reason’s gift would add
the liberal appet-te and power
the rightness of a god

who nurtured in that fine tradition
predicted the result
guessed love by nature suited to
the intricate ways of guilt;
that human company could so
his southern gestures modify
and make it his mature ambition
to think no thought but ours
to hunger, work illegally
and be anonymous?
