the secrets of the old - samuel barber lyrics

Loading...

i have old women’s secrets now
that had those of the young;
madge tells me what i dared not think
when my blood was strong
and what had drowned a lover once
sounds like an old song

though marg’ry is stricken dumb
if thrown in madge’s way
we three make up a solitude;
for none alive today
can know the stories that we know
or say the things we say:

how such a man pleased women most
of all that are gone
how such a pair loved many years
and such a pair but one
stories of the bed of straw
or the bed of down
