lirik lagu regeneration by henry vaughan - bart wolffe
a ward, and still in bonds, one day
i stole abroad;
it was high spring, and all the way
primrosed and hung with shade;
yet was it frost within
and surly winds
blasted my infant buds, and sin
like clouds eclipsed my mind
stormed thus, i straight perceived my spring
mere stage and show
my walk a monstrous, mountained thing
roughcast with rocks and snow;
and as a pilgrim’s eye
far from relief
measures the melancholy sky
then drops and rains for grief
so sighed i upwards still; at last
’twixt steps and falls
i reached the pinnacle, where placed
i found a pair of scales;
i took them up and laid
in th’ one, late pains;
the othеr smoke and pleasures wеighed
but proved the heavier grains
with that some cried, “away!” straight i
obeyed, and led
full east, a fair, fresh field could spy;
some called it jacob’s bed
a virgin soil which no
rude feet ere trod
where, since he stepped there, only go
prophets and friends of god
here i reposed; but scarce well set
a grove descried
of stately height, whose branches met
and mixed on every side;
i entered, and once in
amazed to see ’t
found all was changed, and a new spring
did all my senses greet
the unthrift sun shot vital gold
a thousand pieces
and heaven its azure did unfold
checkered with snowy fleeces;
the air was all in spice
and every bush
a garland wore; thus fed my eyes
but all the ear lay hush
only a little fountain lent
some use for ears
and on the dumb shades language spent
the music of her tears;
i drew her near, and found
the cistern full
of divers stones, some bright and round
others ill~shaped and dull
the first, pray mark, as quick as light
danced through the flood
but the last, more heavy than the night
nailed to the center stood;
i wondered much, but tired
at last with thought
my restless eye that still desired
as strange an object brought
it was a bank of flowers, where i descried
though ’twas midday
some fast asleep, others broad~eyed
and taking in the ray;
here, musing long, i heard
a rushing wind
which still increased, but whence it stirred
no where i could not find
i turned me round, and to each shade
dispatched an eye
to see if any leaf had made
least motion or reply
but while i listening sought
my mind to ease
by knowing where ’twas, or where not
it whispered, “where i please.”
“lord,” then said i, “on me one breath
and let me die before my death!”
