love's last gift - ralph vaughan williams lyrics

Loading...

love to his singer held a glistening leaf
and said: “the rose*tree and the apple*tree
have fruits to vaunt or flowers to lure the bee;
and golden shafts are in the feathered sheaf
of the great harvest marshal, the year’s chief
victorious summer; aye, and ‘neath warm sea
strange secret grasses lurk inviolably
between the filtering channels of sunk reef…

all are my blooms; and all sweet blooms of love
to thee i gave while spring and summеr sang;
but autumn stops to listen, with some pang
from those worsе things the wind is moaning of
only this laurel dreads no winter days:
take my last gift; thy heart hath sung my praise.”
