beauty sat bathing by a spring - ernest john moeran lyrics

Loading...

beauty sat bathing by a spring
where fairest shades did hide her;
the winds blew calm, the birds did sing
the cool streams ran beside her
my wanton thoughts enticed mine eye
to see what was forbidden:
but better memory said fie;
so vain desire was chidden—
hey nonny nonny o!
hey nonny nonny!

into a slumber then i fell
and fond imagination
seemed to see, but could not tell
her feature or her fashion:
but ev’n as babes in dreams do smile
and sometimes fall a*weeping
so i awaked as wise that while
as when i fell a*sleeping
