john corigliano - song to the witch of the cloisters lyrics

Loading...

old lady in the herb garden
this sunday in the lavender
fat lady in the crawling leaves
white lady in the sun
i know by moonlight
sweet lady, what you are

granny, granny, the lovers wake and
oh, they sigh and fold
white shades glow like stained gl-ss;
their cigarettes burn like incense

mistress who rules coriander
and curbs scents without mercy
in whose palace grows the woven pomegranate
help me stop that stirring
without me willing
their kissing, their sleeping, their soaring

my lady of the cloisters
where mary is forever weeping
the holy baby never wakes
and christ lies unresurrected
before the moon moves
and is laced gently by leaves
make the lovers be still

- john corigliano lyrics
