gerald finzi - rhapsody lyrics
will you see the infancy of this sublime and celestial greatness? i was a stranger, which at my entrance into the world was saluted and surrounded with innumerable joys: my knowledge was divine. i was entertained like an angel with the works of god in their splendour and glory. heaven and earth did sing my creator’s praises, and could not make more melody to adam than to me. certainly adam in paradise had not more sweet and curious apprehensions of the world than i. all appeared new, and strange at first, inexpressibly rare and delightful and beautiful. all things were spotless and pure and glorious
the corn was orient and immortal wheat, which never should be reaped nor was ever sown. i thought it had stood from everlasting to everlasting. the green trees, when i saw them first, transported and ravished me, their sweetness and unusual beauty made my heart to leap, and almost mad with ecstasy, they were such strange and wonderful things
o what venerable creatures did the aged seem! immortal cherubims! and the young men glittering and sparkling angels, and maids strange seraphic pieces of life and beauty! i knew not that they were born or should die ; but all things abided eternally. i knew not that there were sins or complaints or laws. i dreamed not of poverties, contentions or vices. all tears and quarrels were hidden from mine eyes. i saw all in the peace of eden. everything was at rest, free and immortal
