Lyrics

[ti:to althea from prison]
[ar:fairport convention]
[al:nine]
[00:00.00] 作词 : Lovelace, Swarbrick
[01:42.07] When Love with unconfined wings
[01:50.46] Hovers within my gates,
[01:55.68] And my divine Althea brings
[02:01.34] To whisper at the grates;
[02:06.99] When I lie tangled in her hair,
[02:12.39] And fettered to her eye,
[02:18.19] The gods, that wanton in the air,
[02:23.82] Know no such liberty.
[02:27.24]
[02:31.44] When flowing cups run swiftly round
[02:36.10] With no allaying Thames,
[02:41.35] Our careless heads with roses bound,
[02:46.96] Our hearts with loyal flames;
[02:52.42] when thirsty grief in wine we steep,
[02:57.92] When healths and draughts go free,
[03:03.26] Fishes, that tipple in the deep,
[03:08.76] Know no such liberty.
[03:13.26]
[03:18.20] Stone walls do not a prison make,
[03:23.82] No iron bars a cage;
[03:29.06] Minds innocent and quiet take
[03:34.32] That for an hermitage;
[03:41.19] If I have freedom in my love,
[03:46.43] And in my soul am free,
[03:52.49] Angels alone that soar above,
[03:58.43] Enjoy such liberty.
