Four songs, Op.13: 2. ‘The Secrets of the Old’
Soprano: Bibi Ortjens
Piano: Vincent Kusters
Vocallis Laureatenconcert 2019, Kopermolen Vaals
Text by W.B.Yeats:
I have old women's secrets now
That had those of the young;
Madge tells me what I dared not think
When my blood was strong,
And what had drowned a lover once
Sounds like an old song.
Though Marg'ry is stricken dumb
If thrown in Madge's way,
We three make up a solitude;
For none alive today
Can know the stories that we know
Or say the things we say:
How such a man pleased women most
Of all that are gone,
How such a pair loved many years
And such a pair but one,
Stories of the bed of straw
Or the bed of down.
