《The Song of the Old Mother》歌词

[00:00:00] The Song of the Old Mother - WB Yeats

[00:00:02] I rise in the dawn and I kneel and blow

[00:00:06] Till the seed of the fire flicker and glow

[00:00:11] And then I must scrub and bake and sweep

[00:00:15] Till stars are beginning to blink and peep

[00:00:19] And the young lie long and dream in their bed

[00:00:24] Of the matching of ribbons for bosom and head

[00:00:29] And their day goes over in idleness

[00:00:33] And they sigh if the wind but lift a tress

[00:00:38] While I must work because I am old

[00:00:43] And the seed of the fire gets feeble and cold
