lirik lagu emma topping - faith and despondency
“the winter wind is loud and wild
come close to me, my darling child;
forsake thy books, and mateless play;
and, while the night is gathering gray
we’ll talk its pensive hours away;—
“ierne, round our sheltered hall
november’s gusts unheeded call;
not one faint breath can enter here
enough to wave my daughter’s hair
and i am glad to watch the blaze
glance from her eyes, with mimic rays;
to feel her cheek, so softly pressed
in happy quiet on my breast
“but, yet, еven this tranquillity
brings bitter, restlеss thoughts to me;
and, in the red fire’s cheerful glow
i think of deep glens, blocked with snow;
i dream of moor, and misty hill
where evening closes dark and chill;
for, lone, among the mountains cold
lie those that i have loved of old
and my heart aches, in hopeless pain
exhausted with repinings vain
that i shall greet them ne’er again!”
“father, in early infancy
when you were far beyond the sea
such thoughts were tyrants over me!
i often sat, for hours together
through the long nights of angry weather
raised on my pillow, to descry
the dim moon struggling in the sky;
or, with strained ear, to catch the shock
of rock with wave, and wave with rock;
so would i fearful vigil keep
and, all for listening, never sleep
but this world’s life has much to dread
not so, my father, with the dead
“oh! not for them, should we despair
the grave is drear, but they are not there;
their dust is mingled with the sod
their happy souls are gone to god!
you told me this, and yet you sigh
and murmur that your friends must die
ah! my dear father, tell me why?
for, if your former words were true
how useless would such sorrow be;
as wise, to mourn the seed which grew
unnoticed on its parent tree
because it fell in fertile earth
and sprang up to a glorious birth—
struck deep its root, and lifted high
its green boughs in the breezy sky
“but, i’ll not fear, i will not weep
for those whose bodies rest in sleep,—
i know there is a blessed shore
opening its ports for me and mine;
and, gazing time’s wide waters o’er
i weary for that land divine
where we were born, where you and i
shall meet our dearest, when we die;
from suffering and corruption free
restored into the deity.”
“well hast thou spoken, sweet, trustful child!
and wiser than thy sire;
and worldly tempests, raging wild
shall strengthen thy desire—
thy fervent hope, through storm and foam
through wind and ocean’s roar
to reach, at last, the eternal home
the steadfast, changeless shore!”
