Go and Catch a Falling Star Lyrics by Richard Burton

Richard Burton Reads the Poetry of John Donne

0

Go and catch a falling star
Get with child a mandrake root
Tell me where all past years are
Or who cleft the devil's foot
Teach me to hear mermaids singing
Or to keep off envy's stinging
And find
What wind
Serves to advance an honest mind
If thou be'st born to strange sights
Things invisible to see
Ride ten thousand days and nights
Till age snow white hairs on thee
Thou, when thou return'st, wilt tell me
All strange wonders that befell thee
And swear
No where
Lives a woman true, and fair
If thou find'st one, let mе know
Such a pilgrimage were sweet;
Yеt do not, I would not go
Though at next door we might meet;
Though she were true, when you met her
And last, till you write your letter
Yet she
Will be
False, ere I come, to two, or three
