ghizela rowe - matthew arnold - human life كلمات أغنية

what mortal, when he saw
life’s voyage done, his heavenly friend
could ever yet dare tell him fearlessly:
“i have kept uninfringed my nature’s law ;
the inly_written chart thou gavest me
to guide me, i have steer’d by to the end”?

ah! let us make no claim
on life’s incognisable sea
to too exact a steering of our way;
let us not fret and fear to miss our aim
if some fair coast have lured us to make stay
or some friеnd hail’d us to keep company

ay! we would each fain drive
at random, and not steer by rulе
weakness! and worse, weakness bestow’d in vain
winds from our side the unsuiting consort rive
we rush by coasts where we had lief remain;
man cannot, though he would, live chance’s fool

no! as the foaming swath
of torn_up water, on the main
falls heavily away with long_drawn roar
on either side the black deep_furrow’d path
cut by an onward_labouring vessel’s prore
and never touches the ship_side again;
even so we leave behind
as, charter’d by some unknown powers
we stem across the sea of life by night
the joys which were not for our use design’d;__
the friends to whom we had no natural right
the homes that were not destined to be ours

- ghizela rowe
