TOUCHSTONE

Then let the strucken deer go weep

Let the hart ungalled play

For some must watch while some must sleep

So runs the world away.


The hunt is up!

The morn is bright and gray.

My darling doe,

I’ve got more care to go than will to stay.


Run, run my dear, the chase is here,

And while the air is clean,

Let’s rush our heels through fragrant fields

To Arden’s garden green.


Then let the strucken deer go weep

Let the hart ungalled play

For some must watch while some must sleep

So runs the world -

So runs the world -

So runs the world away


For the hunter loves the hunted

As the devil loves his dam.

The soldier loves the enemy

As the wolf doth love the lamb


The winter loves the summer

As the hourglass loves the sane

Oh the world’s more full of weeping, dear

Than we can understand.


Then let the strucken deer go weep

Let the hart ungalled play

For some must watch while some must sleep

So runs the world -

So runs the world -

So runs the world away

Away…

Away…
