《The Souls Of The Slain》歌词

[00:00:00] The Souls Of The Slain - Richard Burton/John Glen/David Moore (大卫·摩尔)
[00:00:01] The thick lids of Night closed upon me
[00:00:03] Alone at the Bill
[00:00:05] Of the Isle by the Race
[00:00:07] Many caverned bald wrinkled of face
[00:00:11] And with darkness and silence the spirit was on me
[00:00:15] To brood and be still
[00:00:18] No wind fanned the flats of the ocean
[00:00:22] Or promontory sides
[00:00:24] Or the ooze by the strand
[00:00:26] Or the bent bearded slope of the land
[00:00:29] Whose base took it's rest amid everlong motion
[00:00:32] Of criss crossing tides
[00:00:36] Soon from out of the Southward seemed nearing
[00:00:38] A whirr as of wings
[00:00:40] Waved by mighty vanned flies
[00:00:42] Or by night moths of measureless size
[00:00:45] And in softness and smoothness well nigh beyond hearing
[00:00:50] Of corporal things
[00:00:54] And they bore to the bluff and alighted
[00:00:57] A dim discerned train
[00:00:58] Of sprites without mould
[00:01:00] Frameless souls none might touch or might hold
[00:01:03] On the ledge by the turreted lantern farsighted
[00:01:06] By men of the main
[00:01:09] And I heard them say
[00:01:10] Home and I knew them
[00:01:13] For souls of the felled
[00:01:14] On the earth's nether bord
[00:01:16] Under Capricorn whither they'd warred
[00:01:18] And I neared in my awe
[00:01:20] And gave heedfulness to them
[00:01:23] With breathings inheld
[00:01:26] Then it seemed
[00:01:26] There approached from the northward
[00:01:27] A senior soul flame
[00:01:29] Of the like filmy hue
[00:01:32] And he met them and spake
[00:01:33] Is it you
[00:01:34] O my men
[00:01:36] Said they
[00:01:36] Aye We bear homeward and hearthward
[00:01:39] To list to our fame
[00:01:42] I've flown there before you he said then
[00:01:45] Your households are well
[00:01:46] But your kin linger less
[00:01:50] On your glory arid war mightiness
[00:01:52] Than on dearer things
[00:01:55] Dearer cried these from the dead then
[00:01:57] Of what do they tell
[00:02:00] Some mothers muse sadly and murmur
[00:02:02] Your doings as boys
[00:02:04] Recall the quaint ways
[00:02:06] Of your babyhood's innocent days
[00:02:08] Some pray that ere dying
[00:02:10] Your faith had grown firmer
[00:02:13] And higher your joys
[00:02:16] A father broods Would I had set him
[00:02:19] To some humble trade
[00:02:20] And so slacked his high fire
[00:02:22] And his passionate martial desire
[00:02:24] Had told him no stories to woo him and whet him
[00:02:27] To this due crusade
[00:02:31] And General how hold out our sweethearts
[00:02:33] Sworn loyal as doves
[00:02:36] Many mourn; many think
[00:02:37] It is not unattractive to prink
[00:02:39] Them in sables for heroes
[00:02:42] Some fickle and fleet hearts
[00:02:44] Have found them new loves
[00:02:47] And our wives quoth another resignedly
[00:02:50] Dwell they on our deeds
[00:02:53] Deeds of home; that live yet
[00:02:55] Fresh as new deeds of fondness or fret
[00:02:58] Ancient words that were kindly expressed or unkindly
[00:03:02] These these have their heeds
[00:03:06] Alas then it seems that our glory
[00:03:08] Weighs less in their thought
[00:03:09] Than our old homely acts
[00:03:11] And the long ago commonplace facts
[00:03:13] Of our lives held by us as scarce part of our story
[00:03:16] And rated as nought
[00:03:19] Then bitterly some
[00:03:20] Was it wise now
[00:03:21] To raise the tomb door
[00:03:22] For such knowledge Away
[00:03:25] But the rest
[00:03:26] Fame we prized till today
[00:03:28] Yet that hearts keep us green for
[00:03:30] Old kindness we prize now
[00:03:32] A thousand times more
[00:03:35] Thus speaking the trooped apparitions
[00:03:37] Began to disband
[00:03:38] And resolve them in two
[00:03:40] Those whose record was lovely and true
[00:03:42] Bore to northward for home
[00:03:43] Those of bitter traditions
[00:03:45] Again left the land
[00:03:46] And towering to seaward in legions
[00:03:48] They paused at a spot
[00:03:49] Overbending the Race
[00:03:51] That engulphing ghast sinister place
[00:03:53] Whither headlong they plunged
[00:03:55] To the fathomless regions
[00:03:57] Of myriads forgot
[00:03:58] And the spirits of those who were homing
[00:04:00] Passed on rushingly
[00:04:02] Like the Pentecost Wind
[00:04:04] And the whirr of their wayfaring thinned
[00:04:08] And surceased on the sky
[00:04:11] And but left in the gloaming
[00:04:14] Sea mutterings and me
