gustav holst - envoi lyrics

Loading...

when the spark that glittered
flakes into ash
and the spirit unfettered
is done with flesh

when all that wonder
this loveliness
of heart lies under
the sleepy grass

and slow are the swift
and dark the fair
and sweet voices lift
not on the air

when the long spell
of dust lies on
all that was well
bethought upon

of all that lovely
of all those brief
hopes that went bravely
beyond belief

of life’s deep blazon
with love’s gold stain
passing all reason
doth aught rеmain?
what need of answer?
bird chaunting priest
dawn swings her cеnser
of bloom+white mist

noon from her shoulder
lets her sun+shawl
half loose, half hold her
and drifing fall

and evening slowly
by hill and wood
perfects her holy
solitude

unasked, undaunted
by love, or what
the heart has wanted
and wanteth not

unasked? say rather
that these will startle
tomorrow other
hearts with mortal

beauty they had
from us, as we
inherited
that legacy
undaunted? yes
since death can lend
to loveliness
only an end

that with the beginning
is one designed
one shape, one meaning
beyond the mind
