Song Lyrics by Michael Tippett

The Heart’s Assurance

0

Oh journey-man, oh journey-man
Before this endless belt began
Its cruel revolutions, you and she
Naked in Eden shook the apple tree
Oh soldier lad, oh soldier lad
Before the soul of things turned bad
She offered you so modestly
A shining apple from the tree
Oh lonely wife, oh lonely wife
Before your lover left this life
He took you in his gentle arms
How trivial then were Life's alarms
And though Death taps down every street
Familiar as the postman on his beat
Remember this, remember this
That Life has trembled in a kiss
From Gensis to Genesis
And what's transfigured will live on
Long after Death has come and gone
