morning song in the jungle - percy grainger lyrics
one moment past our bodies cast
no shadow on the plain;
now clear and black they stride our track
and we run home again
in morning-hush, each rock and bush
stands hard, and high, and raw:
then give the call: “good rest to all
that keep the jungle law!”
now h-rn and pelt our peoples melt
in covert to abide;
now crouched and still, to cave and hill
our jungle barons glide
now, stark and plain, man’s oxen strain
that draw the new-yoked plough;
now striped and dread the dawn is red
above the lit talao
ho! get to lair! the sun’s aflare
behind the breathing gr-ss:
and creaking through the young bamboo
the warning whispers p-ss
by day made strange, the woods we range
with blinking eyes we scan;
while down the skies the wild duck cries:
“the day – the day to man!”
the dew is dried that drenched our hide
or washed about our way;
and where we drank, the puddled bank
is crisping into clay
the traitor dark gives up each mark
of stretched or hooded claw:
then hear the call: “good rest to all
that keep the jungle law!”
