G. Bantock

The Vine had struck a Fibre; which about

If clings my Being -- let the Stiff flout;

Of my Base Metal may be filed a Key,

That shall unlock the Door he howls without.

Collection: 16 lieder

1. The Revelations of Devout and Learn'd

2. I sent my Soul through the Invisible

3. Heav'n but the vision of fulfilled Desire

4. We are no other than a moving row

5. But helpless Pieces of the Game He plays

6. The Ball no Question makes of Ayes and Noes

7. The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ

8. And that inverted Bowl we call The Sky

9. With Earth's first Clay They did the Last Man knead

10. Yesterday This Day's Madness did prepare

11. I tell you this -- when, started from the Goal

12. The Vine had struck a Fibre; which about

13. And this I know: whether the one True Light

14. What! out of senseless Nothing to provoke

15. What! from his helpless Creature be repaid

16. Oh, Thou, who Man of baser Earth didst make
