ballad - w. h. auden lyrics
o what is that sound which so thrills the ear
down in the valley drumming, drumming?
only the scarlet soldiers, dear
the soldiers coming
o what is that light i see flashing so clear
over the distance brightly, brightly?
only the sun on their weapons, dear
as they step lightly
o what are they doing with all that gear
what are they doing this morning, morning?
only their usual manoeuvres, dear
or perhaps a warning
o why have they left the road down there
why are they suddenly wheeling, wheeling?
perhaps a change in their orders, dear
why are you kneeling?
o haven’t they stopped for the doctor’s care
haven’t they reined their horses, horses?
why, they are none of them wounded, dear
none of these forces
o is it the parson they want, with white hair
is it the parson, is it, is it?
no, they are passing his gateway, dear
without a visit
o it must be the farmer that lives so near
it must be the farmer so cunning, so cunning?
they have passed the farmyard already, dear
and now they are running
o where are you going? stay with me here!
were the vows you swore deceiving, deceiving?
no, i promised to love you, dear
but i must be leaving
o it’s broken the lock and splintered the door
o it’s the gate where they’re turning, turning;
their boots are heavy on the floor
and their eyes are burning
