TWO SONGS FROM VICTOR HUGO'S “BURGRAVES”
I
[Through the long winter the rough wind tears]
Through the long winter the rough wind tears;With their white garment the hills look wan.
Love on: who cares?
Who cares? Love on.
My mother is dead; God's patience wears;
It seems my chaplain will not have done.
Love on: who cares?
Who cares? Love on.
The Devil, hobbling up the stairs,
Comes for me with his ugly throng.
Love on: who cares?
Who cares? Love on.
II
[In the time of the civil broils]
In the time of the civil broils
Our swords are stubborn things.
A fig for all the cities!
A fig for all the kings!
Our swords are stubborn things.
A fig for all the cities!
A fig for all the kings!
The Burgrave prospereth:
Men fear him more and more.
Barons, a fig for his Holiness!
A fig for the Emperor!
Men fear him more and more.
Barons, a fig for his Holiness!
A fig for the Emperor!
Right well we hold our own
With the brand and the iron rod.
A fig for Satan, Burgraves!
Burgraves, a fig for God!
With the brand and the iron rod.
A fig for Satan, Burgraves!
Burgraves, a fig for God!
