Dirge and Hymeneal, H 124歌词完整版
"[Dirge
Woe! woe! this is death’s hour
Of spring; behold his flower!
Fair babe of life, to whom
Death, and the dreamy tomb,
Was nothing yesterday,
And now is all!
The maiden, from her play
Beside her lover gay,
The church-yard voices call,
Tolling so slow,
Woe! woe!
[Hymeneal
Joy! joy! this is love’s day;
Strew the young conqueror’s way
With summer’s glories young,
O’er which the birds have sung,
Bright weeds from fairy rings;
Here, there, away!
Joy, joy, the tree-bird sings,
Joy, joy, a hundred springs’
Melodies ever say, –
Maiden and boy,
Joy! joy!"
