quick! we have but a second - charles villiers stanford lyrics

Loading...

quick! we have but a second
fill round the cup while you may
for time, the churl, hath beckoned
and we must away, away!

grasp the pleasure that’s flying
for oh, not orpheus’ strain
could keep sweet hours from dying
or charm them to life again

then, quick! we have but a second
fill round the cup while you may
for time, the churl, hath beckoned
and we must away, away!
see the glass, how it flushes
like some young hebe’s lip
and half meets thine, and blushes
that thou shouldst delay to sip

shame, oh, shame unto thee
if e’er thou seest that day
when a cup or a lip shall woo thee
and turn untouched away

thеn quick! we have but a second
fill round thе cup while you may
for time, the churl, hath beckoned
and we must away, away!
