love bade me welcome - judith weir lyrics
Loading...
love bade me welcome: yet my soul drew back
guilty of dust and sin
but quick-eyed love, observing me grow slack
from my first entrance in
drew nearer to me, sweetly questioning
if i lacked anything
“a guest,” i answered, “worthy to be here”:
love said, “you shall be he.”
“i, the unkind, ungrateful? ah, my dear
i cannot look on thee.”
love took my hand, and smiling did reply
“who made the eyes but i?”
“truth, lord; but i have marred them; let my shame
go where it doth deserve.”
“and know you not,” says love, “who bore the blame?”
“my dear, then i will serve.”
“you must sit down,” says love, “and taste my meat.”
so i did sit and eat
