Lyrics Surprised by Joy (with Warren Ellis) - Marianne Faithfull
Surprised
by
Joy
BY
WILLIAM
WORDSWORTH
Surprised
by
joy—impatient
as
the
Wind
I
turned
to
share
the
transport—Oh!
with
whom
But
Thee,
long
buried
in
the
silent
Tomb,
That
spot
which
no
vicissitude
can
find?
Love,
faithful
love,
recalled
thee
to
my
mind—
But
how
could
I
forget
thee?—Through
what
power,
Even
for
the
least
division
of
an
hour,
Have
I
been
so
beguiled
as
to
be
blind
To
my
most
grievous
loss!—That
thought's
return
Was
the
worst
pang
that
sorrow
ever
bore,
Save
one,
one
only,
when
I
stood
forlorn,
Knowing
my
heart's
best
treasure
was
no
more;
That
neither
present
time,
nor
years
unborn
Could
to
my
sight
that
heavenly
face
restore.
