benjamin britten - the old lute lyrics
Loading...
of cord and cassia+wood
is the lute compounded;
within it lie ancient melodies
ancient melodies weak and savourless
not appealing to present men’s taste
light and colour are faded
from the jade stops;
dust has covered the rose+red strings
decay and ruin came to it long ago
but the sound that is left
is still cold and clear
i do not refuse to play it, if you want me to;
but even if i play people will not listen
how did it come to be neglеcted so?
because of thе ch’iang flute
and the zithern of ch’in
