lyrics

5. Oscar (‘Requiescat’ by Oscar Wilde arr. Remco Jacobs)

Tread lightly, she is near
Under the snow
Speak gently, she can hear
The daisies grow.

All her bright golden hair
Tarnished with rust
She that was young and fair
Fallen to dust.

Lily-like, white as snow
She hardly knew
She was a woman, so
Sweetly she grew.

(But now a) Coffin-board, heavy stone,
Lie on her breast
I vex my heart alone,
She is at rest

Peace, peace, she cannot hear
Lyre or sonnet,
All my life’s buried here,
Heap earth upon it.
