Orpheus With His Lute Made Trees – Poem by William Shakespeare
オルフェウスと竪琴
Ian Bostridge のEnglish Song Books を聴いていたら「いい曲！」だった。
レイフ・ヴォーン・ウィリアムズ(1872-1958)の付曲などがあるが、Ian さんのEnglish Song Book に入っている曲は Wdward German の付曲だ。
(from Henry VIII)
Orpheus with his lute made trees,
And the mountain tops that freeze,
Bow themselves, when he did sing:
To his music plants and flowers
Ever sprung; as sun and showers
There had made a lasting spring.
Everything that heard him play,
Even the billows of the sea,
Hung their heads, and then lay by.
In sweet music is such art,
Killing care and grief of heart
Fall asleep, or hearing, die.

Orpheus with his lute, with his lute made trees
Made trees and the mountain tops that freeze
Bow themselves when he did sing.
Bow themselves when he did sing.
To his music plants and flow’rs ever sprung
To his music plants and flow’rs ever sprung
As sun and show’rs, as sun and show’rs
There had made a lasting, and lasting spring.
Ev’ry thing that heard him play
Ev’n the billows of the sea，
Hung their heads and then lay by，
Hung their heads and then lay by，
In sweet music is such art，
In sweet music is such art，
Killing care and grief of heart，
Fall asleep, asleep or hearing die.
