third madrigal - gian carlo menotti lyrics

Loading...

unicorn, my swift and leaping unicorn
keep pace with me, stay close to me
don’t run astray, my gentle rover
beware of the virgin sleeping under the lemon tree
her hair adrift, her hair adrift among the clover

she hides a net under her petticoat
and silver chains around her hips
and if you kiss her lips the hidden hunter
will pierce your throat, will pierce your throat

unicorn, beware, beware!
her crimson lips are hard as coral
and her white thighs are only a snare
for you, for you who likes to roam
a kiss, a kiss is poisoned food
much sweeter fare is the green laurel
much safer home is the dark wood

- gian carlo menotti lyrics
