william alwyn - a leave-taking lyrics

Loading...

kneel not and leave me: mirth is in its grave
true friend, sweet words were ours, sweet words decay;
believe, the perfume once this violet gave
lives + lives no more, though mute tears answer nay
break off delay!

dead, love is dead! ay, canceled all his due
we say he mocks repose + we cannot tell +
close up his eyes and crown his head with ruе
say in his ear, sweet love, farewеll! farewell!
a last low knell

forbear to move him. peace, why should we stay?
go back no more to listen for his tread
resume our old calm face of every day:
not all our kneeling turns that sacred head
long dear, long dead!
