lirik lagu eve karpf - emily bronte - self interrogation
“the evening passes fast away
’tis almost time to rest;
what thoughts has left the vanished day
what feelings in thy breast?
“the vanished day? it leaves a sense
of labour hardly done;
of little, gained with vast expense,—
a sense of grief alone!
“time stands before the door of death
upbraiding bitterly;
and conscience, with exhaustless breath
pours black reproach on me:
“and though i’ve said that conscience liеs
and time should fate condemn;
still, sad rеpentance clouds my eyes
and makes me yield to them!’
“then art thou glad to seek repose?
art glad to leave the sea
and anchor all thy weary woes
in calm eternity?
“nothing regrets to see thee go—
not one voice sobs ‘farewell,’
and where thy heart has suffered so
canst thou desire to dwell?”
“alas! the countless links are strong
that bind us to our clay;
the loving spirit lingers long
and would not pass away!
“and rest is sweet, when laurelled fame
will crown the soldier’s crest;
but, a brave heart, with a tarnished name
would rather fight than rest.”
“well, thou hast fought for many a year
hast fought thy whole life through
hast humbled falsehood, trampled fear;
what is there left to do?”
“’tis true, this arm has hotly striven
has dared what few would dare;
much have i done, and freely given
but little learnt to bear!”
“look on the grave where thou must sleep
thy last, and strongest foe;
it is endurance not to weep
if that repose seem woe
“the long war closing in defeat
defeat serenely borne
thy midnight rest may still be sweet
and break in glorious morn!”
