lirik lagu i walk'd the other day by henry vaughan - bart wolffe

Loading...

i walk’d the other day, to spend my hour
into a field
where i sometimes had seen the soil to yield
a gallant flow’r;
but winter now had ruffled all the bow’r
and curious store
i knew there heretofore

yet i, whose search lov’d not to peep and peer
i’ th’ face of things
thought with my self, there might be other springs
besides this here
which, like cold friends, sees us but once a year;
and so the flow’r
might have some other bow’r

then taking up what i could nearest spy
i digg’d about
that place where i had seen him to grow out;
and by and by
i saw the warm recluse alone to lie
where fresh and green
he liv’d of us unseen

many a question intricate and rare
did i there strow;
but all i could extort was, that he now
did there repair
such losses as befell him in this air
and would ere long
come forth most fair and young
this past, i threw the clothes quite o’er his head;
and stung with fear
of my own frailty dropp’d down many a tear
upon his bed;
then sighing whisper’d, “happy are the dead!
what peace doth now
rock him asleep below!”

and yet, how few believe such doctrine springs
from a poor root
which all the winter sleeps here under foot
and hath no wings
to raise it to the truth and light of things;
but is still trod
by ev’ry wand’ring clod

o thou! whose spirit did at first inflame
and warm the dead
and by a sacred incubation fed
with life this frame
which once had neither being, form, nor name;
grant i may so
thy steps track here below

that in these masques and shadows i may see
thy sacred way;
and by those hid ascents climb to that day
which breaks from thee
who art in all things, though invisibly!
shew me thy peace
thy mercy, love, and ease
and from this care, where dreams and sorrows reign
lead me above
where light, joy, leisure, and true comforts move
without all pain;
there, hid in thee, shew me his life again
at whose dumb urn
thus all the year i mourn
