歌词

作词 : John Donne
作曲 : Luca Romano/Flavia Lazzaro
A lecture upon the shadow
Ceci est une leçon sur l'amour de John Donne
Stand still, and I will read to thee
A lecture, love, in love's philosophy
These three hours that we have spent
Walking here, two shadows went
Along with us, which we ourselves produc'd
But, now the sun is just above our head
We do those shadows tread
And to brave clearness all things are reduc'd
So whilst our infant loves did grow
Disguises did, and shadows, flow
From us, and our cares; but now 'tis not so
That love has not attain'd the high'st degree
Which is still diligent lest others see
Except our loves at this noon stay
We shall new shadows make the other way
As the first were made to blind
Others, these which come behind
Will work upon ourselves, and blind our eyes
If our loves faint, and westwardly decline
To me thou, falsely, thine
And I to thee mine actions shall disguise
The morning shadows wear away
But these grow longer all the day
But oh, love's day is short, if love decay
That love has not attain'd the high'st degree
Which is still diligent lest others see
Love is a growing, or full constant light
And his first minute, after noon, is night
