《Elgar: Like To The Damask Rose》歌词

[00:00:00] Like To The Damask Rose - Yvonne Kenny/Caroline Almonte

[00:00:01] Written by：Sir Edward Elgar

[00:00:11] Like to the damask rose you see

[00:00:15] Or like the blossom on the tree

[00:00:19] Or like the dainty flow'r of may

[00:00:23] Or like the morning of the day

[00:00:27] Or like the sun or like the shade

[00:00:33] Or like the gourd which jonas had

[00:00:38] Even such is man whose thread is spun

[00:00:46] Drawn out and cut and so is done

[00:00:58] The rose withers the blossom blasteth

[00:01:04] The flower fades the morning hasteth

[00:01:09] The sun sets the shadow flies

[00:01:14] The gourd consumes and man he dies

[00:01:32] Like to the grass that's newly sprung

[00:01:36] Or like a tale that's new begun

[00:01:40] Or like the bird that's here to day

[00:01:44] Or like the pearled dew of may

[00:01:48] Or like an hour or like a span

[00:01:53] Or like the singing of a swan

[00:01:59] Even such is man who lives by breath

[00:02:07] Is here now there in life and death

[00:02:19] The grass withers the tale is ended

[00:02:25] The bird is flown the dew's ascended

[00:02:31] The hour is short the span not long

[00:02:35] The hour is short the span not long

[00:02:38] The swan's near death man's life is done
