daphne - william walton lyrics
Loading...
when green as a river was the barley
green as a river the rye
i waded deep and began to parley
with a youth whom i heard sigh
“i seek,” said he, “a lovely lady
a nymph as bright as a queen
like a tree that drips with pearls her shady
locks of hair were seen
and all the rivers became her flocks
though their wool you cannot shear, —
because of the love of her flowing locks . .
the kingly sun like a swain
came strong, unheeding of her scorn
bathing in deeps where she has lain
sleeping upon her river lawn
and chasing her starry satyr train
she fled, and changed into a tree —
that lovely fair-haired lady . .
and now i seek through the sere summer
where no trees are shady. “
