Nocturne - Ian Bostridge/Radek Baborak/Berliner Philharmoniker/Sir Simon Rattle

Composed by：Benjamin Britten

The splendour falls

On castle walls

And snowy summits old in story

The long light shakes

Across the lakes

And the wild cataract leaps in glory

Blow bugle blow

Set the wild echoes flying

Bugle blow

Answer echoes answer

Dying dying dying dying dying dying

Oh hark oh hear

How thin and clear

And thinner clearer farther going

Oh sweet and far

From cliff and scar

The horns of Elfland faintly blowing

Blow let us hear

The purple glens replying

Bugle blow

Answer echoes answer

Dying dying dying dying dying

Oh love they die

In yon rich sky

They faint on hill or field or river

Our echoes roll

From soul to soul

And grow forever and forever

Blow bugle blow

Set the wild echoes flying

And answer echoes answer

Dying dying dying dying dying dying
