Say Who Is This - Imogen Holst/English Chamber Orchestra (英国室内乐团)/The Purcell Singers[00:00:00]
Written by:Gustav Holst[00:00:01]
Say who is this with silvered hair[00:00:02]
So pale and worn and thin[00:00:07]
Who passeth here and passeth there[00:00:12]
And looketh out and in[00:00:17]
That useth not our garb nor tongue[00:00:21]
And knoweth things untold[00:00:26]
Who teacheth pleasure to the young[00:00:31]
And wisdom to the old[00:00:37]
No toil he maketh his by day[00:00:44]
No home his own by night[00:00:50]
But wheresoe'er he take his way[00:00:55]
He killeth our delight[00:01:01]
Since he is come there's nothing wise[00:01:05]
Nor fair in man or child[00:01:10]
Unless his deep divining eyes[00:01:15]
Have looked on it and smiled[00:01:22]
Whence came he hither all alone[00:01:34]
Among our folk to spy[00:01:37]
There's nought that we can call our own[00:01:39]
Till he shall hap to die[00:01:42]
And I would dig his grave full deep[00:01:45]
Beneath the churchyard yew[00:01:53]
Lest thence his wizard eyes might peep[00:02:00]
To mark the things we do[00:02:09]
