Paul Mealor feat. Tenebrae & Nigel Short - A Tender Light

Now Sleeps The Crimson Petal (Four Madrigals On Rose Texts): Now Sleeps The Crimson Petal

Now sleeps the crimson petal, now the white
Nor waves the cypress in the palace walk
The fire-fly wakens: waken thou with me
Now droops the milkwhite peacock like a ghost
And like a ghost she glimmers on to me
Now lies the Earth all Danaë to the stars
And all thy heart lies open unto me

Now folds the lily all her sweetness up
And slips into the bosom of the lake
So fold thyself, my dearest, thou, and slip
Into my bosom and be lost in me

Now sleeps the crimson petal
Now the white
