[ti: Villanelle For Our Time]
[length: 05:56]
[00:00.51]From bitter searching of the heart
[00:03.32]Quickened with passion and with pain
[00:05.50]We rise to play a greater part
[00:10.53]This is the faith from which we start
[00:13.75]Men shall know commonwealth again
[00:17.10]From bitter searching of the heart
[00:20.92]We loved the easy and the smart
[00:24.72]But now, with keener hand and brain
[00:28.15]We rise to play a greater part
[00:32.72]The lesser loyalties depart
[00:34.56]And neither race nor creed remain
[00:38.50]From bitter searching of the heart
[00:41.79]Not steering by the venal chart
[00:44.05]That tricked the mass for private gain
[00:48.78]We rise to play a greater part
[00:52.59]Reshaping narrow law and art
[00:56.75]Whose symbols are the millions slain
[00:59.74]From bitter searching of the heart
[01:02.94]We rise to play a greater part
[01:32.14]This is the faith from which we start:
[01:37.04]Men shall know commonwealth again
[01:44.28]From bitter searching of the heart
[01:47.54]We rise to play a greater part
[02:00.31]The lesser loyalties depart
[02:04.77]And neither race nor creed remain
[02:11.32]From bitter searching of the heart
[02:15.22]We rise to play a greater part
[02:25.54]Reshaping narrow law and art
[02:30.56]Whose symbols are the millions slain
[02:36.07]From bitter searching of the heart
[02:39.80]We rise to play a greater part
[02:49.28]This is the faith from which we start:
[02:54.22]Men shall know commonwealth again
[03:02.02]From bitter searching of the heart
[03:06.28]We rise to play a greater part
[04:11.58]This is the faith from which we start:
[04:16.90]Men shall know commonwealth again
[04:21.71]From bitter searching of the heart
[04:26.77]We rise to play a greater part
[04:35.33]Not steering by the venal chart
[04:39.76]That tricked the mass for private gain
[04:45.92]We rise, we rise to play a greater part
[04:59.05]Reshaping narrow law and art
[05:02.86]Whose symbols are the millions slain
[05:09.98]From bitter searching of the heart
[05:13.77]We rise to play a greater part
