gustav holst - home they brought her warrior dead lyrics

Loading...

home they brought her warrior dead:
she nor swooned, nor uttered cry:
all her maidens, watching, said
‘she must weep or she must die.’

then they praised him, soft and low
called him worthy to be loved
truest friend and n0blest foe;
yet she neither spoke nor moved

stole a maiden from her place
lightly to the warrior stept
took the face+cloth from the face;
yet she neither moved nor wept

rose a nurse of ninety years
set his child upon her knee ++
like summer tempest came her tears ++
‘sweet my child, i live for thee.’
