Letra
Now the leaves are falling fast,
Nurse's flowers will not last
Nurses to the graves are gone,
And the prams go rolling on.
Whispering neighbours,
left and right,
Pluck us from the real delight
And the active hands must freeze
Lonely on the sep'rate knees.
Dead in hundreds at the back
Follow wooden in our track,
Arms raised stiffly to reprove
In false attitudes of love.
Starving through
the leafless wood
Trolls run scolding for their food
And the nightingale is dumb,
And the angel will not come.
Cold, impossible, ahead
Lifts the mountain's lovely head
Whose white waterfall could bless
Travellers in their last distress.
Written by: Benjamin Britten, Wystan Hugh Auden
