dame sybil thorndike - tears, idle tears lyrics

Loading...

tears, idle tears, i know not what they mean
tears from the depth of some divine despair
rise in the heart, and gather to the eyes
in looking on the happy autumn+fields
and thinking of the days that are no more

fresh as the first beam glittering on a sail
that brings our friends up from the underworld
sad as the last which reddens over one
that sinks with all we love below the verge;
so sad, so fresh, the days that are no more

ah, sad and strange as in dark summer dawns
the earliest pipe of half+awaken’d birds
to dying ears, when unto dying eyes
the cas+m+nt slowly grows a glimmering square;
so sad, so strange, the days that are no more

dear as remember’d kisses after death
and sweet as those by hopeless fancy feign’d
on lips that are for others; deep as love
deep as first love, and wild with all regret;
o death in life, the days that are no more!
