edward elgar - death on the hills, op. 72 lyrics

Loading...

why o’er the dark’ning hill+slopes
do dusky shadows creep?
because the wind blows keenly there
or rainstorms lash and leap?

no wind blows chill upon them
nor are they lash’d by rain:
’tis death who rides across the hills
with all his shadowy train

the old bring up the cortege
in front the young folk ride
and on death’s saddle in a row
the babes sit side by side

the young folk lift their voices
the old folk plead with death:
“o let us take the village+road
or by the brook draw breath

there let the old drink water
there let the young folk play
and let the little children
run and pluck the blossoms g+y.”
