william alwyn - the two old kings lyrics

Loading...

in ruling well what guerdon? life runs low
as yonder lamp upon the hour+glass lies
waning and wasted. we are great and wise
but love is gone; and silence seems to grow
along the misty road where we must go
from summits near the morning star’s uprise
death comes, a shadow from the norhtern skies
as, when all leaves are down, thence comes the snow

brother and king, we hold our last carouse
one loving cup we drain and then farewell
the night is spent. the crystal morning ray
calls us, as soldiers laurelled on our brows
to march undaunted, while the clarions swell
heroic hearts, upon our lonely way
