peter warlock - the shrouding of the duchess of malfi lyrics

Loading...

hark! now everything is still
the screech+owl and the whistler shrill
call upon our dame aloud
and bid her quickly don her shroud!

much you had of land and rent;
your length in clay ‘s now competent:
a long war disturb’d your mind;
here your perfect peace is sign’d

of what is ‘t fools make such vain keeping?
sin their conception, their birth weeping
their life a general mist of error
their death a hideous storm of terror
strew your hair with powders sweet
don clean linen, bathe your feet

and—the foul fiend more to check—
a crucifix let bless your neck:
’tis now full tide ‘tween night and day;
end your groan and come away
