frederick delius - idyll lyrics
once i pass’d through a populous city
imprinting my brain with all its shadows
of that city i remember only a woman
a woman i casually detained
who detained me for love of me
day by day and night by night we were together ++
all else has been forgotten by me
again we wander, we love, we separate
again she holds me by the hand, i must not go
i hear her whisper:
i love you, before long i die
i have waited long merely to look on you
for i could not die till i had oncе looked on you
i see her close bеside me with lips sad and tremulous
along while amid the noises of coming and going
then we two content, happy in being together, speaking little
day by day, night by night, together
behold me when i pass, hear my voice, approach
draw close, but speak not
be not afraid of me
o you and i, what is to us what the rest do or think?
i am she who adorned herself and folded her hair expectantly
my lover has come and it is dark
we two, how long we were fooled
now transm+ted we escape as nature escapes;
we are nature, long, long have we been absent but now we return
ah, love and perfect equal!
how calm, how solemn it grows to ascend to the sphere of lovers
i ascend, i float in the regions of your love, o man!
ah, love and perfect equal!
o power and liberty at last! we two together!
double yourself and receive us, darkness!
we two content, happy in being together!
this is thy hour o soul, thy free flight into the wordless
thee fully forth emerging, silent, gazing
pondering the themes thou lovest best
night, sleep, death, love and the stars
o to speed where there is sp+ce enough and air enough at last!
we are two hawks, we soar above and look down
what is all else to us who have voided all
but freedom and all but our own joy
as nearing departure, as the time draws nigh
a cloud, a dread beyond i know not what darkens me
face so pale with wondrous eyes, very dear, gather closer yet
perfume therefore my chant o love, immortal love
make me a fountain
that i exhale love wherever i go
sweet are the blooming cheeks of the living
sweet are the musical voices sounding
but sweet, ah sweet, are the dead
with their silent eyes
dearest comrade all is over and long gone
but love is not over
