A Jester Arrayed In Burning Gold 歌词

Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho' We are not now that strength which in old day Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are One equal temper of heroic hearts Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield Share not the cup I have wantonly sipped The cradle that has been finally tipped In fool’s garb do I before thee appear With signs and sounds fit for stirring fear Yet the mask hides what is truly between My emerald eyes and the jewels that are seen First we eat, then we drink Then we sing ourselves hoarse To the ever brightening sun Tread ye not, now, where I have failed That spirit has flown, that ship has sailed My feet have failed to dance the steps And for bare bones I have loved and wept Arrayed am I in burning, trojan gold For the sake of he who’s name I hold First we eat, then we drink Then we sing ourselves hoarse To the ever brightening sun
