[Music by Thor Georg Buer; Lyrics by R. Michael Cook] | |
"Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho' | |
We are not now that strength which in old day | |
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; | |
One equal temper of heroic hearts, | |
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will | |
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." | |
[- Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Ulysses 65-70] | |
Share not the cup I have wantonly sipped: | |
the cradle that has been finally tipped. | |
In fool’s garb do I before thee appear, | |
with signs and sounds fit for stirring fear. | |
yet the mask hides what is truly between | |
my emerald eyes and the jewels that are seen. | |
First we eat, then we drink, | |
then we sing ourselves hoarse | |
to the ever brightening sun. | |
Tread ye not, now, where I have failed. | |
That spirit has flown, that ship has sailed. | |
My feet have failed to dance the steps, | |
and for bare bones I have loved and wept; | |
arrayed am I in burning, Trojan gold | |
for the sake of He who’s name I hold | |
First we eat, then we drink, | |
then we sing ourselves hoarse | |
to the ever brightening sun. |
