parting - ned rorem lyrics

Loading...

truly i want to die
such was her weeping when she said good*bye

these words she said to me:

“what sad calamity!
sappho, i leave you most unwillingly.”

to her i made reply :

“go with good heart, but try
not to forget our love in days gone by
else let me call to mind

if your heart proves unkind
the soft delightful ways you leave behind

many a coronet

of rose and violet
crocus and dill upon your brow you set:

many a necklace too

round your soft throat you threw
woven with me from buds of ravishing hue

and often balm you spread

of myrrh upon my head
and royal ointment on my hair you shed.”
