Peace at noon (Symons, set by E. Hill, R. Manton) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Here, there is peace, cool peace
Upon these heights, beneath these trees
Almost the peace of sleep or death
To wearying brain, to lab'ring breath
Here there is peace at last
A sweet forgetting of the past
There is no future here, nor aught
Save this soft healing pause of thought.
