the floral bandit - gustav holst lyrics
beyond the town * oh far! beyond it
she walks * that lady * have you seen her?
that thief of spring, that floral bandit
who leaves the grass she walks on greener
and she can sing * the blackbirds hear her *
those little coals with throats of flame *
and they can find, alighting near her
no sweeter practice than her name
what is her name? o ask the linnet
for human tongue would strive in vain
to speak the buds uncrumpling in it
and the small language of the rain
who is this lady? what is she?
the sylvia all our swains adore?
yes, she is that unchangingly
but shе is also something more
for buds at best arе little green
keys on an old thin clavichord
that only has the one high tune *
that, since the first, all springs have heard
and all first love with the same sighing
tunes, though more sweetly touched, has lingered
as though he were forever trying
toccatas purcell might have fingered
but no one knows her range nor can
guess half the phrases of her fiddle
the lady who fore ev’ry man
breaks off her music in the middle
