Testo Façade: No. 7, Lullaby for Jumbo - Orchestra of the Swan
Testo della canzone Façade: No. 7, Lullaby for Jumbo (Orchestra of the Swan), tratta dall'album Sir William Walton: A Centenary Celebration
Suppose that you have seen
The well-appointed king
At Hampton pier embark his royalty
And his brave fleet, with silken streamers
The young Phoebus fanning
Play with your fancies, and in them behold
Upon the hempen tackle ship-boys climbing
Hear the shrill whistle, which doth order give
To sounds confused; behold the threaden'd sails
Borne with invisible and creeping wind
Draw the huge bottoms through the furrow'd sea
Breasting the lofty surge
O! do but think
You stand upon the rivage, and behold
A city on the inconstant billows dancing!
For so appears this fleet majestical
Holding due course to Harfleur
Follow, follow!
