arthur bliss - the shepherd's night-song كلمات الأغنية

now arched dark boughs hang dim and still;
the deep dew glistens up the hill;
silence trembles. all is still
now the sweet siren of the woods
philomel, passionately broods
or, darkling, hymns love’s wildest moods
danaë, fainting in her tower
feels a sudden sun swim lower
gasps beneath the starry shower
venus in the pomegranate grove
flutters like a fluttering dove
under young adonis’ love
leda longs until alight
in the reeds those wings of white
she hears beat the upper night
golden now the glowing moon
diana over endymion
downward bends as in a swoon
wherefore, since the gods agree
youth is sweet and night is free
and love pleasure, should not we?

shepherds all, maidens fair
fold your flocks up, for the air
‘gins to thicken, and the sun
already his great course hath run
sweetest slumbers
and soft silence, fall in numbers
on your eyelids! so farewell:
thus’ll end my evening’s knell

- arthur bliss
