the countess cathleen in paradise - john tavener lyrics

Loading...

all the heavy days are over;
leave the body’s coloured pride
underneath the grass and clover
with the feet laid side by side

one with her are mirth and duty;
bear the gold*embroidered dress
for she needs not her sad beauty
to the scented oaken press

hers the kiss of mother mary
the long hair is on her face;
still she goes with footsteps wary
full of earth’s old timid grace

with white feet of angels seven
her white feet go glimmering;
and above the deep of heaven
flame on flame, and wing on wing

- john tavener lyrics
