lirik lagu emma topping - at home
when i was dead, my spirit turned
to seek the much~frequented house:
i passed the door, and saw my friends
feasting beneath green orange boughs;
from hand to hand they pushed the wine
they sucked the pulp of plum and peach;
they sang, they jested, and they laughed
for each was loved of each
i listened to their honest chat:
said one: ‘to~morrow we shall be
plod plod along the featureless sands
and coasting miles and miles of sea.’
said one: ‘before the turn of tide
we will achieve the eyrie~seat.’
said one: ‘to~morrow shall be like
to~day, but much more sweet.’
‘to~morrow,’ said they, strong with hope
and dwelt upon the pleasant way:
‘to~morrow,’ cried they, one and all
while no one spoke of yesterday
their life stood full at blessed noon;
i, only i, had passed away:
‘to~morrow and to~day,’ they cried;
i was of yesterday
i shivered comfortless, but cast
no chill across the table~cloth;
i, all~forgotten, shivered, sad
to stay, and yet to part how loth:
i passed from the familiar room
i who from love had passed away
like the remembrance of a guest
that tarrieth but a day
