nightmare - benjamin britten lyrics

Loading...

the tree stood flowering in a dream:
beside the tree a dark shape bowed:
as lightning glittered the axe*gleam
across the wound in the broken wood

the tree cried out with human cries:
from its deepening hurt the blood ran:
the branches flowered with children’s eyes
and the dark murderer was a man

there came a fear which sighed aloud;
and with its fear the dream*world woke:
yet in the day the tree still stood
bleeding beneath the axe*man’s stroke
