Wilfrid Scawen Blunt - A Wedding MarchWilfrid Scawen Blunt - A Wedding March
Work rating: Low


Clash your cymbals, maids, to--day. Chaunt the praise of Cynthia. You, her virgins, yokeless, free, Young Time`s choice, his brides--to--be. Nymphs in white, who hand in hand Next to her high altar stand, Take your timbrels, strike your strings; Tune them to Love`s clamourings. Heralds be of her your fairest, Her of rarities the rarest. Instant all her laud rehearse, Idol of your universe; And thus armed stand forth and say, ``All is nought but Cynthia.`` Clash your cymbals. Beat your drums. Cynthia in her glory comes, High with him whose duty is Her to lead to a new bliss. Ah, what fortune his to be Angel of her ecstasy! Red with roses Love`s path lies, Rich in rainbows of surprise. They that tread it wiser are Than the wise kings with their star, Eve and morn who went pursuing Eve`s old hopes to Time`s undoing, Robbing Time of his vain wrath. Run to Love; take all he hath, Idle maids! Nay, shout and sing, In Love`s praise new chorusing, Stintless this thrice happy day. Shout aloud for Cynthia!
