"To Autumn" verse 1 by Keats
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
'''
|
||||||
|
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
|
||||||
|
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
|
||||||
|
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
|
||||||
|
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
|
||||||
|
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
|
||||||
|
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
|
||||||
|
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
|
||||||
|
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
|
||||||
|
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
|
||||||
|
Until they think warm days will never cease,
|
||||||
|
For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells.

How hard the year dies: no frost yet
|
||||||
|
On drifts of yellow sand Midas reclines
|
||||||
|
Fearless of moaning reed or sullen wave
|
||||||
|
Firm and fragrant still the brambleberries
|
||||||
|
On ivy-bloom butterflies wag
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Spare him a little longer, Crone
|
||||||
|
For his clean hands and love-submissive heart

*Lament for Pasiphaë*

pg.206
|

|
|
||||||
|
Dying sun, shine warm a little longer!
|
||||||
|
My eye, dazzled with tears, shall dazzle yours
|
||||||
|
Conjuring you to shine and not to move
|
||||||
|
You, sun, and I all afternoon have laboured
|
||||||
|
Beneath a dewless and oppressive cloud--
|
||||||
|
A fleece now gilded with our commen grief
|
||||||
|
That this must be a night without a moon
|
||||||
|
Dying sun, shine warm a little longer!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Faithless she was not: she was very woman
|
||||||
|
Smiling with dire impartiality
|
||||||
|
Sovereign, with heart unmatched, adored of men
|
||||||
|
Until Spring's cuckoo with bedraggled plumes
|
||||||
|
Tempted her pity and her truth betrayed
|
||||||
|
Then she who shone for all resigned her being
|
||||||
|
And this must be a night without a moon
|
||||||
|
Dying sun, shine warm a little longer!

*Like Snow*

pg.143

|
She, then, like snow in a dark night
|
||||||
|
Fell secretly. And the world waked
|
||||||
|
With dazzling of the drowsy eye
|
||||||
|
So that some muttered 'Too much light,'
|
||||||
|
And drew the curtains close
|
||||||
|
Like snow, warmer than fingers feared
|
||||||
|
And to soil friendly;
|
||||||
|
Holding the histories of the night
|
||||||
|
In yet unmelted tracks
|
||||||

*She Tells Her Love While Half Asleep*

pg.173
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
She tells her love while half asleep
|
||||||
|
In the dark hours
|
||||||
|
With half-words whispered low:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As Earth stirs in her winter sleep
|
||||||
|
And puts out grass and flowers
|
||||||
|
Despite the snow
|
||||||
|
Despite the falling snow

"Winter" by Eric Whitacre, text by Edward Esch - https://ericwhitacre.com/music-catalog/winter

I.
|
||||||
|
The snow is falling,
|
||||||
|
sleeping,
|
||||||
|
whispering,
|
||||||
|
dreaming of water.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
II.
|
||||||
|
Gold, silver, iron, stone;
|
||||||
|
pure and gentle, silently melting,
|
||||||
|
the sun sings softly through the quiet ice.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
III.
|
||||||
|
A single snowflake awakens,
|
||||||
|
shimmers,
|
||||||
|
glows,
|
||||||
|
watches the world with weary eyes,
|
||||||
|
darkens,
|
||||||
|
settles,
|
||||||
|
and disappears.
