《Britten: Nocturne for tenor， 7 obligato instruments & strings， Op. 60 - 6. ”She Sleeps On Soft， Last Breaths”》歌词

[00:00:28] she sleeps on soft, last breaths; but no ghost looms

[00:00:39] out of the stillness of her palace wall,

[00:00:50] her wall of boys on boys and dooms on dooms.

[00:01:08] she dreams of golden gardens and sweet glooms,

[00:01:23] not marvelling why her roses never fall

[00:01:36] nor what red mouths were torn to make their blooms.

[00:01:59] the shades keep down which well might roam her hall.

[00:02:09] quiet their blood lies in her crimson rooms

[00:02:24] and she is not afraid of their footfall.

[00:02:48] they move not from her tapestries, their pall,

[00:02:59] nor pace her terraces, their hecatombs,

[00:03:13] lest aught she be disturbed, or grieved at all.
