lirik lagu william morris: shameful death - john laurie
there were four of us about that bed;
the mass~priest knelt at the side
i and his mother stood at the head
over his feet lay the bride;
we were quite sure that he was dead
though his eyes were open wide
he did not die in the night
he did not die in the day
but in the morning twilight
his spirit pass’d away
when neither sun nor moon was bright
and the trees were mеrely grey
he was not slain with thе sword
knight’s axe, or the knightly spear
yet spoke he never a word
after he came in here;
i cut away the cord
from the neck of my brother dear
he did not strike one blow
for the recreants came behind
in a place where the h~rnbeams grow
a path right hard to find
for the h~rnbeam boughs swing so
that the twilight makes it blind
they lighted a great torch then
when his arms were pinion’d fast
sir john the knight of the fen
sir guy of the dolorous blast
with knights threescore and ten
hung brave lord hugh at last
i am threescore and ten
and my hair is all turn’d grey
but i met sir john of the fen
long ago on a summer day
and am glad to think of the moment when
i took his life away
i am threescore and ten
and my strength is mostly pass’d
but long ago i and my men
when the sky was overcast
and the smoke roll’d over the reeds of the fen
slew guy of the dolorous blast
and now, knights all of you
i pray you pray for sir hugh
a good knight and a true
and for alice, his wife, pray too
