The Shepherd and the Maiden Ghost歌詞

[00:00.00] 作曲 : Markus Stock
[00:18.80]I't was an eve in late summer, autumn was nigh
[00:23.83]still a warm sun did colour the sky
[00:28.43]The meadows did shine in a strange golden light
[00:33.05]and vales did forth the soft haze of night
[00:37.41]
[00:38.00]When through the air a voice did resound
[00:42.50]beckoning the shepherd to rise from the ground
[00:46.78]
[00:47.15]THE SHEPHERD:
[00:48.17]"What sweet voice does sing in such a woebegone tone?
[00:52.17]What maiden does wander the heather alone?"
[00:58.27]
[01:16.01]Bewitched by its tone, he followed her song,
[01:20.32]whilst the sun did descend and the shadows grew long
[01:24.99]In the dim light of dusk, near the sparkling cascade
[01:29.77]on a moss covered stone sat a crying young maid
[01:34.20]
[01:34.42]THE SHEPHERD:
[01:34.76]"Why art thou dreary? What happened to thee?
[01:39.44]What song didst thou sing so woefully?"
[01:43.85]
[01:44.26]THE MAIDEN:
[01:44.81]"Go whither O shepherd! Don't sadden thine heart
[01:48.78]Thou canst not help me - not thou who thou art!
[01:53.67]An old man who's been born in a cradle of wood
[01:58.40]of a tree that at least a hundred years stood,
[02:03.44]cut by a boy who at heart was still pure -
[02:07.92]might be my redeemer if he knew that he could...
