isaac albéniz - in sickness and in health lyrics

Loading...

when you in sickness lie
no more the field is green, nor blue the sky ;
no more invisible and lovely things
the forest haunt with songs and rustling wings ;
back from my stricken sense the world recedes
and beauty’s garden is a patch of weeds

then can i catch in music’s blithest tone
nought but the closing cadence of a moan;
then can i joy no more in sound unheard
save in the silence of the written word;
the melodies that once could charm my ear
forbodе some final dissonance of fear

earth has no hеalth, when health from you is fled;
no angel stands between the quick and death;
the awful unity of life and death
is sacramental in your labouring breath;
and as i watch you i can hear him call
who is the king of nothing or of all

but ah! your nature surely cannot owe
to that grim tyrant such an overthrow;
you seem a creature of an alien strain
from force and fate, and unallied to pain;
could you but meet their master, little while
would lapse ere you had won him to a smile
