cynara - frederick delius lyrics

last night, ah, yesternight, betwixt her lips and mine
there fell thy shadow. cynara! thy breath was shed
upon my soul between the kisses and the wine;
and i was desolate and sick of an old passion
yea, i was desolate and bowed my head:
i have been faithful to thee, cynara! in my fashion

all night upon mine heart i felt her warm heart beat
night*long within mine arms in love and sleep she lay;
surely the kisses of her bought red mouth were sweet;
but i was desolate and sick of an old passion
when i awoke and found the dawn was gray:
i have been faithful to thee, cynara! in my fashion
i have forgot much, cynara! gone with the wind
flung roses, roses riotously with the throng
dancing, to put thy pale, lost lilies out of mind;
but i was desolate and sick of an old passion
yea, all the time, because the dance was long:
i have been faithful to thee, cynara! in my fashion

i cried for madder music and for stronger wine
but when the feast is finished and the lamps expire
then falls thy shadow, cynara! the night is thine;
and i am desolate and sick of an old passion
yea, hungry for the lips of my desire;
i have been faithful to thee, cynara! in my fashion
