Frederick Delius - O Mors!

original text at mamqa.com/ulyricsnew/frederick-delius-o-mors-1871052
Exceeding sorrow
Consumeth my sad heart!
Because to-morrow
We must depart
Now is exceeding sorrow
All my part!

Give over playing
Cast thy viol away:
Merely laying
Thine head my way:
Prithee, give over playing
Grave or gay

Be no word spoken;
Weep nothing: let a pale
Silence, unbroken
Silence prevail!
Prithee, be no word spoken
Lest I fail!

Forget tomorrow!
Weep nothing: only lay
In silent sorrow
Thine head my way!
Let us forget to-morrow
This one day!

Frederick Delius - Biography

Frederick Delius (1862-1934) came from a merchant family in England. His musical career began in 1884, when his family sent him to Florida to manage an orange plantation. Instead, he took inspiration from the African-American music he heard and embarked on a career that saw him spend most of his life in France. His music frequently takes on pastoral subjects, influenced by the techniques of Wagner, Grieg, and Debussy.
