lirik lagu ghizela rowe - christina georgina rossetti - in the willow shade
i sat beneath a willow tree
where water falls and calls;
while fancies upon fancies solaced me
some true, and some were false
who set their heart upon a hope
that never comes to pass
droop in the end like fading heliotrope
the sun’s wan looking~glass
who set their will upon a whim
clung to through good and ill
are wrecked alike whether they sink or swim
or hit or miss their will
all things are vain that wax and wane
for which we waste our breath;
love only doth not wane and is not vain
love only outlives death
a singing lark rose toward the sky
circling he sang amain;
he sang, a speck scarce visible sky~high
and then he sank again
a second like a sunlit spark
flashed singing up his track;
but never overtook that foremost lark
and songless fluttered back
a hovering melody of birds
haunted the air above;
they clearly sang contentment without words
and youth and joy and love
o silvery weeping willow tree
with all leaves shivering
have you no purpose but to shadow me
beside this rippled spring?
on this first fleeting day of spring
for winter is gone by
and every bird on every quivering wing
floats in a sunny sky;
on this first summer~like soft day
while sunshine steeps the air
and every cloud has gat itself away
and birds sing everywhere
have you no purpose in the world
but thus to shadow me
with all your tender drooping twigs unfurled
o weeping willow tree?
with all your tremulous leaves outspread
betwixt me and the sun
while here i loiter on a mossy bed
with half my work undone;
my work undone, that should be done
at once with all my might;
for after the long day and lingering sun
comes the unworking night
this day is lapsing on its way
is lapsing out of sight;
and after all the chances of the day
comes the resourceless night
the weeping willow shook its head
and stretched its shadow long;
the west grew crimson, the sun smoldered red
the birds forbore a song
slow wind sighed through the willow leaves
the ripple made a moan
the world drooped murmuring like a thing that grieves;
and then i felt alone
i rose to go, and felt the chill
and shivered as i went;
yet shivering wondered, and i wonder still
what more that willow meant;
that silvery weeping willow tree
with all leaves shivering
which spent one long day overshadowing me
beside a spring in spring
