Songtexte The Rape of Lucretia, Op. 37: "Flowers Bring to Every Year" - Benjamin Britten feat. English Chamber Orchestra, Janet Baker & Elizabeth Bainbridge
Flowers
bring
to
every
year
the
same
perfection
Even
their
root
and
leaf
keep
so
long
vow
with
pretty
detail
Flowers
alone
are
chaste,
for
their
beauty
is
so
brave
Yes,
all
in
love
and
time's
their
thief
Women
bring
to
every
man
the
same
defection
Even
their
loves
debauched
by
vanity
or
flattery
Flowers
alone
are
chaste
Let
their
pureness
show
my
grief
to
hide
my
shame
and
be
my
wreath
My
child,
you
have
made
a
wreath
That
is
how
you
taught
me
as
a
child
To
weave
all
my
flowers
together
Ah!
Do
you
remember
yesterday?
It
was
a
hundred
years
ago
Do
you
remember?
Do
you
remember?
Do
you
remember?
Yes,
I
remember
I
remember
when
her
hair
fell
like
water
Full
of
might
over
her
white
corners
And
when
her
ivory
breasts
were
cleaned
from
her
ivory
tree
And
I
remember
how
she
ran
down
the
Garden
of
her
eyes
to
meet
her
happiness
Yes,
I
remember
I
remember
