II. Man Makes Delight His Own歌词完整版
MAN MAKES DELIGHT HIS OWN
Man makes delight his own:
endless creation of his labouring days
captures for human terms all he has known.
From far-sown grain his gathered joy has grown
and turned to sound or stone,
perpetual and unchanged for ever stays.
So, though he sleeps or dies,
his music wakes like Beauty from her night,
his words still cry his heart, for seeing eyes
his work declares how a bright landscape lies
untouched by centuries,
living beyond his perished, short delight.
Ursula Vaughan Williams 1911-2007
