《A Day Dream》歌词

[00:00:00] A Day Dream - Ghizela Rowe

[00:00:00] A Day Dream by Emily Jane Brontë

[00:00:03] On a sunny brae alone I lay

[00:00:06] One summer afternoon;

[00:00:07] It was the marriage-time of May

[00:00:09] With her young lover June

[00:00:12] From her mother's heart seemed loath to part

[00:00:14] That queen of bridal charms

[00:00:17] But her father smiled on the fairest child

[00:00:20] He ever held in his arms

[00:00:22] The trees did wave their plumy crests

[00:00:25] The glad birds caroled clear;

[00:00:27] And I of all the wedding guests

[00:00:30] Was only sullen there

[00:00:32] There was not one but wished to shun

[00:00:34] My aspect void of cheer;

[00:00:37] The very grey rocks looking on

[00:00:39] Asked What you do here

[00:00:41] And I could utter no reply;

[00:00:43] In sooth I did not know

[00:00:45] Why I had brought a clouded eye

[00:00:47] To greet the general glow

[00:00:49] So resting on a heathy bank

[00:00:52] I took my heart to me;

[00:00:53] And we together sadly sank

[00:00:55] Into a reverie

[00:00:57] We thought When winter comes again

[00:01:00] Where will these bright things be

[00:01:02] All vanished like a vision vain

[00:01:04] An unreal mockery

[00:01:07] The birds that now so blithely sing

[00:01:10] Through deserts frozen dry

[00:01:12] Poor spectres of the perished spring

[00:01:14] In famished troops will fly

[00:01:17] And why should we be glad at all

[00:01:19] The leaf is hardly green

[00:01:21] Before a token of it's fall

[00:01:22] Is on the surface seen

[00:01:25] Now whether it were really so

[00:01:27] I never could be sure;

[00:01:28] But as in fit of peevish woe

[00:01:30] I stretched me on the moor

[00:01:33] A thousand thousand gleaming fires

[00:01:35] Seemed kindling in the air;

[00:01:37] A thousand thousand silvery lyres

[00:01:39] Resounded far and near:

[00:01:42] Methought the very breath I breathed

[00:01:44] Was full of sparks divine

[00:01:46] And all my heather-couch was wreathed

[00:01:48] By that celestial shine

[00:01:51] And while the wide earth echoing rung

[00:01:54] To their strange minstrelsy

[00:01:56] The little glittering spirits sung

[00:01:59] Or seemed to sing to me

[00:02:01] O mortal mortal let them die;

[00:02:03] Let time and tears destroy

[00:02:06] That we may overflow the sky

[00:02:07] With universal joy

[00:02:10] Let grief distract the sufferer's breast

[00:02:13] And night obscure his way;

[00:02:15] They hasten him to endless rest

[00:02:18] And everlasting day

[00:02:20] To thee the world is like a tomb

[00:02:22] A desert's naked shore;

[00:02:24] To us in unimagined bloom

[00:02:26] It brightens more and more

[00:02:29] And could we lift the veil and give

[00:02:31] One brief glimpse to thine eye

[00:02:33] Thou wouldst rejoice for those that live

[00:02:36] Because they live to die

[00:02:38] The music ceased; the noonday dream

[00:02:41] Like dream of night withdrew;

[00:02:44] But Fancy still will sometimes deem

[00:02:46] Her fond creation true
