That ev'n my buried Ashes such a Snare

G. Bantock

That ev'n my buried Ashes such a Snare

Of Perfume shall fling up into the Air,

As not a True Believer passing by

But shall be overtaken unaware.

Collection: 20 lieder

1. As under cover of departing Day

2. Shapes of all Sorts and Sizes, great and small

3. Said one among them -- "Surely not in vain

4. Then said a Second -- "Ne'er a peevish Boy

5. After a momentary silence spake

6. Whereat some one of the loquacious Lot

7. Why," said another, "Some there are who tell

8. Well," murmur'd one, "Let whoso make or buy

9. So while the Vessels one by one were speaking

10. Ah, with the Grape my fading Life provide

11. That ev'n my buried Ashes such a Snare

12. Indeed the Idols I have loved so long

13. Indeed, indeed, Repentance oft before

14. And much as Wine has play'd the Infidel

15. Alas, that Spring should vanish with the Rose!

16. Would but the Desert of the Fountain yield

17. Would but some winged Angel ere too late

18. Ah Love! could thou and I with Fate conspire

19. Yon rising Moon that looks for us again

20. And when like her, oh Sáki, you shall pass
