Shakespeare's Cymbeline

Loreena McKennitt set the funeral song from Cymbeline to music.

09 Cymbeline

Loreena McKennitt

Fear no more the heat o' th' sun
Nor the furious winters rages;
Thou thy wordly task hast done,
Home art gone, and ta'en thy wages.
Golden lads and girls all must,
As chimney-sweepers, come to dust.

The sceptre, learning, physic, must
All follow this and come to dust.

Fear no more the frown o' th' great;
Thou art past the tyrant's stroke.
Care no more to clothe and eat;
To three the reed is as the oak.
The sceptre, learning, physic, must
All follow this and come to dust.

All lovers young, all lovers must
Consign to thee and come to dust.

Fear no more the lightning flash,
Nor th' all-dreaded thunder-stone;
Fear not slander, censure rash;
Thou hast finished joy and moan.
All lovers young, all lovers must
Consign to thee and come to dust.

Ancient Pines

Loreena McKennitt

This song has no lyrics, though it does have vocals and a cello. I used up my daily capacity for writing composition in that essay I just finished, so I won't attempt to describe the music or explain why I'm posting it. The music is gentle, relaxing, yet full of sadness and loss... or am I just imagining things? Apparently I haven't used up my daily capacity to ramble, so I shall mercifully end my post here.

Good night,... Odd, how the font color suddenly changed to this dusky blue. Is the Batcat batcatting around my post?
