Three Songs

Song Cycle by Samuel Barber (1910 - 1981)

1. Now have I fed and eaten up the rose
 (Sung text)

Language: English 
Now have I fed and eaten up the rose
Which then she laid within my stiffcold hand.
That I should ever feed upon a rose
I never had believed in liveman's land.

Only I wonder was it white or red
The flower that in the darkness my food has been.
Give us, and if Thou give, thy daily bread,
Deliver us from evil, Lord, Amen.
