作词 : Blake, Mitchell, Westbrook | |
Let the slave grinding at the mill run out into the field | |
Let him look up into the heavens and laugh in the bnght air | |
Let the inchained soul, shut up in darkness and in sighing | |
Whose face has never seen a smile in thirty weary Years | |
Rose and look out; his chains are loose, his dungeon doors are open; | |
And let his wife and children return from the oppressor's scourge | |
They look behind at every step and believe it is a dream | |
Singing: The sun has left his blackness and has found a fresher morning | |
And the fair Moon rejoices in the clear and cloudless night | |
For empire is no more and now the Lion and Wolf shall cease | |
For everything that lives is holy | |
For everything that lives is holy | |
For everything that lives is holy | |
For everything that lixes is holy | |
What is the price of Experience? Do men buy it for a song? | |
Or wisdom for a dance in the street? No, it is bought with the price | |
Of all that a man hath, his house, his wife, his children | |
Wisdom is sold in the desolate market where none come to buy | |
And in the wither'd field where the farmer plows for bread in vain | |
It is an easy thing to triumph in the summer's sun | |
And in the vintage and to sing on the waggon loaded with corn | |
It is an easy thing to talk of patience to the afflicted | |
To speak the laws of prudence to the homeless wanderer | |
To listen to the hungry raven's cry in wintry season | |
When the red blood is fill'd with wine and with the marrow of lambs | |
It is an easy thing to laugh at wrathful elements | |
To hear the dog howl at the wintry door, the ox in the slaughter house moan; | |
To see a god on every wind and a blessing on every blast | |
To hear sounds of love in the thunder storm that destroys our enemies' house; | |
To rejoice in the blight that covers his field | |
And the sickness that cuts off his children | |
While our olive and vine sing and laugh round our door | |
And our children bring fruits and flowers | |
Then the groan and the dolor are quite forgotten | |
And the slave grinding at the mill | |
And the captive in chains and the poor in the prison | |
And the soldier in the field | |
When the shatter'd bone hath laid him groaning among the happier dead | |
It is an easy thing to rejoice in the tents of prosperity: | |
Thus could I sing and thus rejoice: but it is not so with me |
