lirik lagu hans werner henze - lay your sleeping head, my love

Loading...

lay your sleeping head, my love
human on my faithless arm;
time and fevers burn away
individual beauty from
thoughtful children, and the grave
proves the child ephemeral:
but in my arms till break of day
let the living creature lie
mortal, guilty, but to me
the entirely beautiful

soul and body have no bounds:
to lovers as they lie upon
her tolerant enchanted slope
in their ordinary swoon
grave the vision venus sends
of supernatural sympathy
universal love and hope;
while an abstract insight wakes
among the glaciers and the rocks
the hermit’s sensual ecstasy

certainty, fidelity
on the stroke of midnight pass
like vibrations of a bell
and fashionable madmen raise
their pedantic boring cry:
every farthing of the cost
all the dreaded cards foretell
shall be paid, but from this night
not a whisper, not a thought
not a kiss nor look be lost
beauty, midnight, vision dies:
let the winds of dawn that blow
softly round your dreaming head
such a day of sweetness show
eye and knocking heart may bless
find the mortal world enough;
noons of dryness see you fed
by the involuntary powers
nights of insult let you pass
watched by every human love
