north sea radio orchestra - mimnermus in church lyrics

Loading...

you promise heavens free from strife
pure truth, and perfect change of will;
but sweet, sweet is this human life
so sweet, i fain would breathe it still;
your chilly stars i can forgo
this warm kind world is all i know

you say there is no substance here
one great reality above:
back from that void i shrink in fear
and child+like hide myself in love:
show me what angels feel. till then
i cling, a mere weak man, to men
you bid me lift my mean desires
from faltering lips and fitful veins
to s+xless souls, ideal quires
unwearied voices, wordless strains:
my mind with fonder welcome owns
one dear dead friend’s remember’d tones

forsooth the present we must give
to that which cannot pass away;
all beauteous things for which we live
by laws of time and sp+ce decay
but o, the very reason why
i clasp them, is because they die
