Death in Love Lyrics by Ralph Vaughan Williams

The House of Life

0

There came an image in Life’s retinue
That had Love’s wings and bore his gonfalon:
Fair was the web, and nobly wrought thereon
O soul-sequestered face, thy form and hue!
Bewildering sounds, such as Spring wakens to
Shook in its folds; and through my heart its power
Sped trackless as the immemorable hour
When birth’s dark portal groaned and all was new
But a veiled woman followed, and she caught
The banner round its staff, to furl and cling,—
Then plucked a feather from the bearer’s wing
And held it to his lips that stirred it not
And said to me, ‘Behold, there is no breath:
I and this Love are one, and I am Death.’
