letra de the contrast - william walton
in london i never knew what i’d be at
enraptured with this, and enchanted by that
i’m wild with the sweets of variety’s plan
and life seems a blessing too happy for man
but the country, lord help me!, sets all matters right
so calm and composing from morning to night;
oh! it settles the spirit when nothing is seen
but an ass on a common, a goose on a green
your magpies and stockdoves may flirt among trees
and chatter their transports in groves, if they please:
but a house is much more to my taste than a tree
and for groves, o! a good grove of chimneys for me
in the country, if cupid should find a man out
the poor tortured victim mopes hopeless about
but in london, thank hеaven! our peace is sеcure
where for one eye to k!ll, there’s a thousand to cure
i know love’s a devil, too subtle to spy
that shoots through the soul, from the beam of an eye;
but in london these devils so quick fly about
that a new devil shill drives an old devil out
