Lyrics Two Songs Op.18: Monks And Raisins - Allegro - Samuel Barber , Cheryl Studer
I
have
observed
pink
monks
eating
blue
raisins.
And
I
have
observed
blue
monks
eating
pink
raisins.
Studiously
have
I
observed.
Now
this
is
the
way
a
pink
monk
eats
a
blue
raisin;
Pink
is
he
and
it
is
blue
and
the
pink
swallows
the
blue.
I
swear
this
is
true.
And
the
way
a
blue
monk
eats
a
pink
raisin
is
this:
Blue
is
he
and
it
is
pink
and
the
blue
swallows
the
pink.
I
swear
this
is
true.
Indeed
I
have
observed
and
myself
partaken
of
blue
and
pink
raisins.
But
my
joy
was
different:
My
joy
was
to
see
the
blue
and
the
pink
counterpointing.
