Coronach 'Todtengesang der Frauen und Mädchen' / "He is gone on the mountain" (English) D.836 (Op.52 No.4), (Ernest Arthur Lough, Ronald Mallett & Douglas Horton - treble, George Thomas Thalben-Ball - piano, 24 July 1928)
Coronach : 'He is gone on the mountain, He is lost to the forest, Like a summer - dried fountain, When our need was the sorest. The font reappearing From the raindrops shall borrow, But to us comes no cheering, To Duncan no morrow!
The hand of the reaper Takes the ears that are hoary, But the voice of the weeper Wails manhood in glory. The autumn winds rushing Waft the leaves that are serest, But our flower was in flushing When blighting was nearest.
Fleet foot on the correi, Sage counsel in cumber, Red hand in the foray, How sound is thy slumber! Like the dew on the mountain, Like the foam on the river Like the bubble on the fountain, Thou art gone, and for ever.'
