lirik lagu scott wheeler - aubade

i know not what to do
my mind is reft:
is song’s gift best?
is love’s gift loveliest?
i know not what to do
now sleep has pressed
weight on your eyelids

shall i break your rest
devouring, eager?
is love’s gift best?
nay, song’s the loveliest:
yet were you lost
what rapture
could
i take from song?
what song were left?

i know not what to do:
to turn and slake
the rage that burns
with my breath burn
and trouble your cool breath?
so shall i turn and take
snow in my arms?
(is love’s gift best?)
yet flake on flake
of snow were comfortlеss
did you lie wondering
wakenеd yet unawake
shall i turn and take
comfortless snow within my arms?
press lips to lips
that answer not
press lips to flesh
that shudders not nor breaks?

is love’s gift best?
shall i turn and slake
all the wild longing?
o i am eager for you!
as the pleiads shake
white light in whiter water
so shall i take you?

my mind is quite divided
my minds hesitate
so perfect matched
i know not what to do:
each strives with each
as two white wrestlers
standing for a match
ready to turn and clutch
yet never shake muscle nor nerve nor tendon;
so my mind waits
to grapple with my mind
yet i lie quiet
i would seem at rest
i know not what to do:
strain upon strain
sound surging upon sound
makes my brain blind;
as a wave~line may wait to fall
yet (waiting for its falling)
still the wind may take
from off its crest
white flake on flake of foam
that rises
seeming to dart and pulse
and rend the light
so my mind hesitates
above the passion
quivering yet to break
so my mind hesitates
above my mind
listening to song’s delight

i know not what to do:
will the sound break
rending the night
with rift on rift of rose
and scattered light?
will the sound break at last
as the wave hesitant
or will the whole night pass
and i lie listening awake?
