laurence hope - the masters كلمات أغنية
oh, masters, you who rule the world
will you not wait with me awhile
when swords are sheathed and sails are furled
and all the fields with harvest smile?
i would not waste your time for long
i ask you but, when you are tired
to read how by the weak, the strong
are weighed and worshipped and desired
when weary of the mart, the loom
the withering_house, the riffle_blocks
the barrack_square, the enginе_room
the pick_axe, ringing on the rocks,__
whеn tents are pitched and work is done
while restful twilight broods above
by fresh_lit lamp, or dying sun
see in my songs how women love
we shared your lonely watch by night
we knew you faithful at the helm
our thoughts went with you through the fight
that saved a soul,__or wrecked a realm
ah, how our hearts leapt forth to you
in pride and joy, when you prevailed
and when you died, serene and true:
__we wept in silence when you failed!
oh, brain that did not gain the gold!
oh, arm, that could not wield the sword
here is the love, that is not sold
here are the hearts to hail you lord!
you played and lost the game? what then?
the rules are harsh and hard we know
you, still, oh, brothers, are the men
whom we in secret reverence so
your work was waste? maybe your share
lay in the hour you laughed and kissed;
who knows but what your son shall wear
the laurels that his father missed?
ay, you who win, and you who lose
whether you triumph,__or despair,__
when your returning footsteps choose
the homeward track, our love is there
for, since the world is ordered thus
to you the fame, the stress, the sword
we can but wait, until to us
you give yourselves, for our reward
to whaler’s deck and coral beach
to lonely ranch and frontier_fort
beyond the narrow bounds of speech
i lay the cable of my thought
i fain would send my thanks to you
(though who am i, to give you praise?)
since what you are, and work you do
are lessons for our easier ways
’neath alien stars your camp_fires glow
i know you not,__your tents are far
my hope is but in song to show
how honoured and dear you are
