lirik lagu eve karpf - emily bronte - a day dream
on a sunny brae alone i lay
one summer afternoon;
it was the marriage~time of may
with her young lover, june
from her mother’s heart seemed loath to part
that queen of bridal charms
but her father smiled on the fairest child
he ever held in his arms
the trees did wave their plumy crests
the glad birds carolled clear;
and i, of all the wedding guests
was only sullen there!
there was not one, but wished to shun
my aspect void of cheer;
thе very gray rocks, looking on
asked, “what do you herе?”
and i could utter no reply;
in sooth, i did not know
why i had brought a clouded eye
to greet the general glow
so, resting on a heathy bank
i took my heart to me;
and we together sadly sank
into a reverie
we thought, “when winter comes again
where will these bright things be?
all vanished, like a vision vain
an unreal mockery!
“the birds that now so blithely sing
through deserts, frozen dry
poor spectres of the perished spring
in famished troops will fly
“and why should we be glad at all?
the leaf is hardly green
before a token of its fall
is on the surface seen!”
now, whether it were really so
i never could be sure;
but as in fit of peevish woe
i stretched me on the moor
a thousand thousand gleaming fires
seemed kindling in the air;
a thousand thousand silvery lyres
resounded far and near:
methought, the very breath i breathed
was full of sparks divine
and all my heather~couch was wreathed
by that celestial shine!
and, while the wide earth echoing rung
to that strange minstrelsy
the little glittering spirits sung
or seemed to sing, to me:
“o mortal! mortal! let them die;
let time and tears destroy
that we may overflow the sky
with universal joy!
“let grief distract the sufferer’s breast
and night obscure his way;
they hasten him to endless rest
and everlasting day
“to thee the world is like a tomb
a desert’s naked shore;
to us, in unimagined bloom
it brightens more and more!
“and, could we lift the veil, and give
one brief glimpse to thine eye
thou wouldst rejoice for those that live
because they live to die.”
the music ceased; the noonday dream
like dream of night, withdrew;
but fancy, still, will sometimes deem
her fond creation true
