the sweet, sad years - mario castelnuovo-tedesco lyrics
Loading...
i thought once how theocritus had sung
of the sweet years, the dear and wished*for years
who each one in a gracious hand appears
to bear a gift for mortals, old or young:
and, as i mused it in his antique tongue
i saw, in gradual vision through my tears
the sweet, sad years, the melancholy years
those of my own life, who by turns had flung
a shadow across me. straightway i was ‘ware
so weeping, how a mystic shape did move
behind me, and drew me backward by the hair;
and a voice said in mastery, while i strove, *
“guess now who holds thee!” * “death,” i said. but, there
the silver answеr rang, “not death, but love.”
