lilian - benjamin britten lyrics
airy, fairy lilian
flitting, fairy lilian
when i ask her if she love me
claps her tiny hands above me
laughing all she can;
she’ll not tell me if she love me
cruel little lilian
when my passion seeks
pleasance in love*sighs
she, looking thro’ and thro’ me
thoroughly to undo me
smiling, never speaks:
so innocent*arch, so cunning*simple
from beneath her gathered wimple
glancing with black*bearded eyes
till the lightning laughters dimple
thе baby*roses in her cheeks;
then away shе flies
prythee weep, may lilian!
gaiety without eclipse
wearieth me, may lilian;
thro’ my very heart it thrilleth
when from crimson*threaded lips
silver*treble laughter trilleth:
prythee weep, may lilian!
praying all i can
if prayers will not hush thee
airy lilian
like a rose*leaf i will crush thee
fairy lilian
cruel little lilian
