gerald finzi - the dance continued lyrics

Loading...

regret not me;
beneath the sunny tree
i lie uncaring, slumbering peacefully

swift as the light
i flew my faery flight;
ecstatically i moved, and feared no night

i did not know
that heydays fade and go
but deemed that what was would be always so

i skipped at morn
between the yellowing corn
thinking it good and glorious to be born

i ran at eves
among the piled+up sheaves
dreaming, `i greave not, therefore nothing grieves’

now soon will come
the apple, pеar, and plum
and hinds will sing, and autumn insects hum

again you will fare
to cider+makings rarе
and junketings; but i shall not be there
yet gaily sing
until the pewter ring
those songs we sang when we went gipsying

and lightly dance
some triple+timed romance
in coupled figures, and forget mischance;

and mourn not me
beneath the yellowing tree;
for i shall mind not, slumbering peacefully
