oscar wilde - sean barrett - endymion lyrics

the apple trees are hung with gold
and birds are loud in arcady
the sheep lie bleating in the fold
the wild goat runs across the wold
but yesterday his love he told
i know he will come back to me
o rising moon! o lady moon!
be you my lover’s sentinel
you cannot choose but know him well
for he is shod with purple shoon
you cannot choose but know my love
for he a shepherd’s crook doth bear
and he is soft as any dove
and brown and curly is his hair

the turtle now has ceased to call
upon her crimson+footed groom
they grey wolf prowls about the stall
the lily’s singing seneschal
sleeps in the lily+bell, and all
the violet hills are lost in gloom
o risen moon! o holy moon!
stand on the tope of helice
and if my own true love you see
ah! if you see the purple shoon
the hazel crook, the lad’s brown hair
the goat+skin wrapped about his arm
tell him that i am waiting where
the rushlight glimmers in the farm
the falling dew is cold and chill
and no bird sings in arcady
the little fauns have left the hill
even the tired daffodil
has closed its gilded doors, and still
my lover comes not back to me
false moon! false moon! o waning moon!
where is my own true lover gone
where are the lips vermilion
the shepherd’s crook, the purple shoon?
why spread that silver pavilion
why wear that veil of drifting mist?
ah! thou hast young endymion
thou hast the lips that should be kissed!
