lirik lagu richard mitchley - samuel taylor coleridge - the aeolian harp
my pensive sara! thy soft cheek reclined
thus on mine arm, most soothing sweet it is
to sit beside our cot, our cot o’ergrown
with white~flowered jasmin, and the broad~leaved myrtle
(meet emblems they of innocence and love!)
and watch the clouds, that late were rich with light
slow saddening round, and mark the star of eve
serenely brilliant (such would wisdom be)
shine opposite! how exquisite the scents
sn~tched from yon bean~field! and thе world so hushed!
the stilly murmur of the distant sеa
tells us of silence
and that simplest lute
placed length~ways in the clasping cas~m~nt, hark!
how by the desultory breeze caressed
like some coy maid half yielding to her lover
it pours such sweet upbraiding, as must needs
tempt to repeat the wrong! and now, its strings
boldlier swept, the long sequacious notes
over delicious surges sink and rise
such a soft floating witchery of sound
as twilight elfins make, when they at eve
voyage on gentle gales from fairy~land
where melodies round honey~dropping flowers
footless and wild, like birds of paradise
nor pause, nor perch, hovering on untamed wing!
o! the one life within us and abroad
which meets all motion and becomes its soul
a light in sound, a sound~like power in light
rhythm in all thought, and joyance everywhere—
methinks, it should have been impossible
not to love all things in a world so filled;
where the breeze warbles, and the mute still air
is music slumbering on her instrument
and thus, my love! as on the midway slope
of yonder hill i stretch my limbs at noon
whilst through my half~closed eyelids i behold
the sunbeams dance, like diamonds, on the main
and tranquil muse upon tranquility:
full many a thought uncalled and undetained
and many idle flitting phantasies
traverse my indolent and passive brain
as wild and various as the random gales
that swell and flutter on this subject lute!
and what if all of animated nature
be but organic harps diversely framed
that tremble into thought, as o’er them sweeps
plastic and vast, one intellectual breeze
at once the soul of each, and god of all?
but thy more serious eye a mild reproof
darts, o beloved woman! nor such thoughts
dim and unhallowed dost thou not reject
and biddest me walk humbly with my god
meek daughter in the family of christ!
well hast thou said and holily dispraised
these shapings of the unregenerate mind;
bubbles that glitter as they rise and break
on vain philosophy’s aye~babbling spring
for never guiltless may i speak of him
the incomprehensible! save when with awe
i praise him, and with faith that inly feels;
who with his saving mercies healèd me
a sinful and most miserable man
wildered and dark, and gave me to possess
peace, and this cot, and thee, heart~honored maid!
