ralph vaughan williams - four nights lyrics

Loading...

o when i shut my eyes in spring
a choir of heaven’s swans i see
they sail on lakes of blue, and sing
or shelter in a willow tree:
they sing of peace in heart and mind
such as on earth you may not find
when i lie down in summertime
i still can hear the scythes that smite
the ripened flowers in their prime
and still can see the meadows white
in summertime my rest is small
if any rest i find at all
in autumn, when my eyes i close
i see the yellow stars ablazе
among the tangled winds that rose
at sunsеt in a circled maze;
like armoured nights they ride the skies
and pr+ck the closed lids of my eyes

but when in wintertime i sleep
i nothing see, nor nothing hear;
the angels in my spirit keep
a silent watch, and being there
they cause my soul to lie as dead
a stream enchanted in her bed
