lirik lagu richard mitchley - ralph waldo emerson - fate
that you are fair or wise is vain
or strong, or rich, or generous;
you must have also the untaught strain
that sheds beauty on the rose
there is a melody born of melody
which melts the world into a sea:
toil could never compass it;
art its height could never hit;
it came never out of wit;
but a music music~born
well may jove and juno scorn
thy beauty, if it lack the fire
which drives me mad with sweet desire
what boots it? what the soldier’s mail
unless he conquer and prevail?
what all the goods thy pride which lift
if thou pine for another’s gift?
alas! that one is born in blight
victim of perpetual slight:
when thou lookest on his face
thy heart saith, “brother, go thy ways!
none shall ask thee what thou doest
or care a rush for what thou knowest
or listen when thou repliest
or remember where thou liest
or how thy supper is sodden;”
and another is born
to make the sun forgotten
surely he carries a talisman
under his tongue;
broad are his shoulders, and strong;
and his eye is scornful
threatening, and young
i hold it of little matter
whether your jewel be of pure water
a rose diamond or a white
but whether it dazzle me with light
i care not how you are dressed
in the co~rs~st or in the best;
nor whether your name is base or brave;
nor for the fashion of your behavior;
but whether you charm me
bid my bread feed and my fire warm me
and dress up nature in your favor
one thing is forever good;
that one thing is success, —
dear to the eumenides
and to all the heavenly brood
who bides at home, nor looks abroad
carries the eagles, and masters the sword
