the darkling thrush - paul kelly, james ledger, alice keath & seraphim trio lyrics
[verse 1]
i leant upon a coppice gate
when frost was spectre*grey
and winter’s dregs made desolate
the weakenin’ eye of day
the tangled bine*stems scored the sky
like strings of broken lyres
and all mankind that haunted nigh
had sought their household fires
[verse 2]
the land’s sharp features seemed to be
the century’s corpse outleant
his crypt the cloudy canopy
the wind his death*lamеnt
the ancient pulse of gеrm and birth
was shrunken hard and dry
and every spirit upon earth
seemed fervourless as i
[bridge]
at once a voice arose among
the bleak twigs overhead
in a full*hearted evensong
of joy illimited
an aged thrush, frail, gaunt, and small
in blast*beruffled plume
had chosen thus to fling his soul
upon the growing gloom
[instrumental]
[outro]
so little cause for carollings
of such ecstatic sound
was written on terrestrial things
afar or nigh around
that i could think there trembled through
his happy good*night air
some blessed hope, whereof he knew
and i was unaware
