sir cedric hardwicke - man كلمات أغنية

my god, i heard this day
that none doth build a stately habitation
but he that means to dwell therein
what house more stately hath there been
or can be, than is man, to whose creation
all things are in decay?

for man is ev’ry thing
and more: he is a tree, yet bears more fruit;
a beast, yet is, or should be, more;
reason and speech we only bring;
parrots may thank us if they are not mute
they go upon the score

man is all symmetry
full of proportions, one limb to another
and all to all the world besides;
each part may call the furthest brother
for head with foot hath private amity
and both with moons and tides

nothing hath got so far
but man hath caught and kept it as his prey;
his eyes dismount the highest star;
he is in little all the sphere;
herbs gladly cure our flesh, because that they
find their acquaintance there
for us the winds do blow
the earth doth rest, heav’n move, and fountains flow
nothing we see but means our good
as our delight, or as our treasure;
the whole is either our cupboard of food
or cabinet of pleasure

the stars have us to bed;
night draws the curtain, which the sun withdraws;
music and light attend our head;
all things unto our flesh are kind
in their descent and being; to our mind
in their ascent and cause

each thing is full of duty;
waters united are our navigation;
distinguished, our habitation;
below, our drink; above, our meat;
both are our cleanliness. hath one such beauty?
then how are all things neat!

more servants wait on man
than he’ll take notice of; in ev’ry path
he treads down that which doth befriend him
when sickness makes him pale and wan
oh mighty love! man is one world, and hath
another to attend him
since then, my god, thou hast
so brave a palace built, o dwell in it
that it may dwell with thee at last!
till then, afford us so much wit
that, as the world serves us, we may serve thee
and both thy servants be
