Sir Henry Newbolt - GavotteSir Henry Newbolt - Gavotte
Work rating: Low


(Old French) Memories long in music sleeping,   No more sleeping,     No more dumb; Delicate phantoms softly creeping   Softly back from the old-world come. Faintest odours around them straying,   Suddenly straying     In chambers dim; Whispering silks in order swaying,   Glimmering gems on shoulders slim: Courage advancing strong and tender,   Grace untender     Fanning desire; Suppliant conquest, proud surrender,   Courtesy cold of hearts on fire--- Willowy billowy now they`re bending,   Low they`re bending     Down-dropt eyes; Stately measure and stately ending,   Music sobbing, and a dream that dies.
