Earth’s Answer Lyrics by John Harbison

Five Songs of Experience

0

Earth rais'd up her head
From the darkness dread and drear
Her light fled
Stony dread!
And her locks cover'd with grey despair
"Prison'd on wat'ry shore
Starry Jealousy does keep my den:
Cold and hoar
Weeping o'er
I hear the Father of the Ancient Men
"Selfish Father of Men!
Cruel, jealous, selfish Fear!
Can delight
Chain'd in night
The virgins of youth and morning bear?
"Does spring hide its joy
When buds and blossoms grow?
Does the sower
Sow by night
Or the ploughman in darkness plough?
"Brеak this heavy chain
That does freeze my bonеs around
Selfish! vain!
Eternal bane!
That free Love with bondage bound."
