the evening primrose - benjamin britten lyrics
Loading...
when once the sun sinks in the west
and dewdrops pearl the evening’s breast;
almost as pale as moonbeams are
or its companionable star
the evening primrose opes anew
its delicate blossoms to the dew;
and, hermit*like, shunning the light
wastes its fair bloom upon the night
who, blindfold to its fond caresses
knows not the beauty it possesses;
thus it blooms on while night is by;
when day looks out with open eye
bashed at the gaze it cannot shun
it faints and withers and is gone
