dirge - charles villiers stanford lyrics

Loading...

naiad, hid beneath the bank
by the willowy river*side
where narcissus gently sank
where unmarried echo died
unto thy serene repose
waft the stricken anterôs

where the tranquil swan is borne
imaged in a watery glass
where the sprays of fresh pink th*rn
stoop to catch the boats that pass
where the earliest orchis grows
bury thou fair anterôs

glide we by, with prow and oar:
ripple shadows off the wavе
and reflected on thе shore
haply play about the grave
folds of summer*light enclose
all that once was anterôs

on a fl!ckering wave we gaze
not upon his answering eyes:
flower and bird we scarce can praise
having lost his sweet replies:
cold and mute the river flows
with our tears for anterôs
