gerald finzi - the salutation lyrics

Loading...

these little limbs, these eyes and hands which here i find
this panting heart wherewith my life begins;
where have ye been? behind what curtain were ye from me hid so long?
where was, in what abyss, my new-made tongue?

when silent i, so many thousand, thousand years
beneath the dust did in a chaos lie, how could i smiles, or tears
or lips, or hands, or eyes, or ears perceive?
welcome, ye treasures which i now receive

from dust i rise and out of nothing now awake
these brighter regions which salute my eyes
a gift from god i take, the earth, the seas, the light, the lofty skies
the sun and stars are mine: if these i prize

a stranger here, strange things doth meet, strange glory see
strange treasures lodged in this fair world appear
strange, all, and new to me: but that they mine should be who nothing was
that strangest is of all; yet brought to p-ss
