Lyrics A Midsummer Night's Dream, Op. 64: "Up and Down, Up and Down" - Stephen Terry feat. Sir Peter Pears, Thomas Hemsley, Heather Harper, Josephine Veasey, London Symphony Orchestra & Benjamin Britten
Up
and
down
Up
and
down
I
lead
them
up
and
down
I
am
feared
in
field
and
town
Goblin
lead
them
up
and
down,
up
and
down,
up
and
down,
up
and
down
Here
comes
one
Lysander,
run
he
meet
us
Speak
again
Here
we
are,
drawn
and
ready
Where
art
thou?
Follow
me
then
to
plainer
ground
Lysander,
speak
again
Thou
wouldst
not
wake,
thou
coward,
art
thou
fed?
Hast
bragging
to
the
stars
and
wilt
not
come?
Ay,
art
thou
fed?
Follow
my
voice
We'll
try
no
man
who
is
here
He
goes
before
me
and
still
dares
me
on
Lysander
When
I
come
where
he
calls,
then
he
is
gone
And
I
am
fallen
in
dark
uneven
way
And
who
will
rest
me?
Come,
thou
gentle
day,
for
if
but
once
thou
show
me
thy
Gray
light,
I
find
the
weakness
and
revenge
this
spite
Ho,
ho,
coward
Why
comest
thou
not?
Abide
with
me,
if
thou
darest
Where
art
thou
now?
Come
hither
I
am
here
Nay,
bend
thou
amongst
three
Thou
shalt
buy
this
dear,
if
e'er
thy
face
by
daylight
see
Now
go
thy
way
Faintness
constraineth
me
to
measure
out
my
length
on
this
cold
bed
Thy
days
of
fortune
look
to
be
visited
Oh,
weary
night
Oh,
long
and
tedious
night
Abate
thy
eyes,
shy
comets
from
the
east
Let
sleep
transcend
his
shots
of
sorrow's
eye
Still
me
awhile
by
yonder
light
Yet
but
three
Come
one
more
Two
of
both
kinds
make
up
four
Here
she
comes,
cursed
and
sad
Cupid
is
a
knavish
lad
thus
to
make
poor
females
mad
Never
so
weary,
never
so
in
woe
Bedabbled
with
the
dew
and
torn
with
rice
I
can
no
further
crawl,
no
further
go
My
legs
can
keep
no
pace
with
my
desires
Here
will
I
rest
till
come
the
break
of
day
Heben
shined
Lysander
with
daily
beam
of
ray
