《Our Hunting Fathers》歌词

[00:00:00] Our Hunting Fathers - W. H. Auden

[00:00:00] Our hunting fathers told the story

[00:00:03] Of the sadness of the creatures

[00:00:05] Pitied the limits and the lack

[00:00:08] Set in their finished features

[00:00:11] Saw in the lion's intolerant look

[00:00:13] Behind the quarry's dying glare

[00:00:16] Love raging for the personal glory

[00:00:19] That reason's gift would add

[00:00:21] The liberal appetite and power

[00:00:24] The rightness of a god

[00:00:27] Who nurtured in that fine tradition

[00:00:30] Predicted the result

[00:00:32] Guessed love by nature suited to

[00:00:34] The intricate ways of guilt

[00:00:37] That human ligaments could so

[00:00:39] His southern gestures modify

[00:00:42] And make it his mature ambition

[00:00:44] To think no thought but ours

[00:00:47] To hunger work illegally

[00:00:50] And be anonymous
