percy grainger - merciful town lyrics
over the edge of the purple down
where the single lamplight gleams
know ye the road to the merciful town
that is hard by the sea of dreams ++
where the poor may lay their wrongs away
and the sick may forget to weep?
but we ++ pity us! oh, pity us!
we wakeful; ah, pity us! ++
we must go back with policeman day ++
back from the city of sleep!
weary they turn from the scroll and crown
fetter and prayer and plough ++
they that go up to the merciful town
for her gates are closing now
it is thеir right in the baths of night
body and soul to steep
but we ++ pity us! ah, pity us!
we wakеful; oh, pity us! ++
we must go back with policeman day ++
back from the city of sleep!
over the edge of the purple down
ere the tender dreams begin
look ++ we may look ++ at the merciful town
but we may not enter in!
outcasts all, from her guarded wall
back to our watch we creep:
we ++ pity us! ah, pity us!
we wakeful; ah, pity us! ++
we that go back with policeman day ++
back from the city of sleep!
