lirik lagu richard mitchley - a june tide echo by amy levy

in the long, sad time, when the sky was grey
and the keen blast blew through the city drear
when delight had fled from the night and the day
my chill heart whispered, ” june will be here!

” june with its roses a~sway in the sun
its glory of green on mead and tree.”
lo, now the sweet june~tide is nearly done
june~tide, and never a joy for me

is it so much of the gods that i pray?
sure craved man never so slight a boon!
to be glad and glad in my heart onе day—
one perfect day of thе perfect june

sweet sounds to~night rose up, wave upon wave;
sweet dreams were afloat in the balmy air
this is the boon of the gods that i crave—
to be glad, as the music and night were fair

for once, for one fleeting hour, to hold
the fair shape the music that rose and fell
revealed and concealed like a veiling fold;
to catch for an instant the sweet june spell

for once, for one hour, to catch and keep
the sweet june secret that mocks my heart;
now lurking calm, like a thing asleep
now hither and thither with start and dart
then the sick, slow grief of the weary years
the slow, sick grief and the sudden pain;
the long days of labour, the nights of tears—
no more these things would i hold in vain

i would hold my life as a thing of worth;
pour praise to the gods for a precious thing
lo, june in her fairness is on earth
and never a joy does the n~ggard bring
