the lake at evening - dominick argento lyrics

Loading...

clouds, lingering yet, extend in solid bars
through the grey west; and lo! these waters, steeled
by breezeless air to smoothest polish, yield
a vivid repetition of the stars;
jove, venus and the ruddy crest of mars
amid his fellows beauteously revealed
at happy distance from earth’s groaning field
where ruthless mortals wage incessant wars
is it a mirror? ** or the nether sphere
opening to view the abyss in which she feeds
her own calm fires? ** but listen! a voice is near;
great pan himself low*whispering through the reeds
‘be thankful, thou; for, if unholy deeds
ravage the world, tranquility is here!’
