death in love - ralph vaughan williams lyrics

Loading...

there came an image in life’s retinue
that had love’s wings and bore his gonfalon:
fair was the web, and n0bly wrought thereon
o soul*sequestered face, thy form and hue!
bewildering sounds, such as spring wakens to
shook in its folds; and through my heart its power
sped trackless as the immemorable hour
when birth’s dark portal groaned and all was new

but a veiled woman followed, and she caught
the banner round its staff, to furl and cling,—
then plucked a feather from the bearer’s wing
and held it to his lips that stirred it not
and said to me, ‘behold, there is no breath:
i and this love are one, and i am death.’
