Victor - Victor слова песни




(W.H. Auden)Victor was a little baby, into this world he came:His father took him on his knee and said:` Don`t dishonour the familyname.` Victor looked up at his father- loked up with big round eyes:His father said:` Victor, my only son, don`t you ever tell lies.`It was a frosty December, it wsn`t the season for fruits;His father fell dead of heart disease while lacing up his boots.It was a frosty December when into his grave he sank;His uncle found Victor a post as a cashier in the Midlands Countiesbank.It was a frosty December Victor was only eighteen.But his figures were neat and his margins straight and his cuffs werealways clean.He took a room at the Peveril, a respectableboarding-house: And Timewatched Victor day after day as a cat willwatch a mouse.Victor went up to his bedroom, set the alarm bell;Climbed into his bed, took his bible and read of happend to Jezebel.It was the First of April, Anna to the Peveril came;Her eyes, her lips, her breasts, her hips and her smile set menaflame. It was the Second of April, she was wearing a coat of fur;Victor met her upon the stairs and fell in love with her.The first time he made his proposal, she laughed, said:` I`ll neverwed`:The second time there was a pause, then she shook her head. Annalooked at the mirror, pouted and gave a frown; Said;`Victor`s as dullas a wet afternoon but I`ve got to settle down.`The third time hemade his proposal, as they walked by the Reservoir,She gave him a kiss like a blowon the head, said,`You are my heart`sdesire.`They married early in August, she said;`Kiss me, you funnyboy`:Victor took her in his arms and said:`O my Helen of Troy.`The clerks were talking of Anna, the door was just ajar:One said:`Poor old Victor, but where ignorance is bliss, etcetera.`Victor looked up at the sunset as he stood there all alone; Cried:`Areyou in Heaven, Father ?`, but the sky said`Address not known.`Victor looked up at the mountains, the mountains all covered withsnow;Cried:`Are you pleased with me, Father ?` and the answer cameback,No.Victor came to the forest, cried:`Father, will she ever betrue ?`And the oaks and the beeches shook their heads and theyanswered:` Not to you.`Victor came to the meadow where the wind wentsweeping by: Cried:` O Father, I love her so,` but the wind said:` Shemust die.`Victor came to the river running so deep and so still;Crying:` O Father, what shall I do ?` and the river answered:` Kill.`Anna was sitting at table, drawing cards from a pack;Anna was sitting at table waiting for her husband to come back.Victor stood in the doorway, he didn`t utter a word;She said:`What`s the matter, darling ?` he behaved as if he hadn`theard.There was a voice in his left ear, there was a voice in theright,There was a voice at the base of his skull saying:`She must dietonight.`Victor picked up a carving knife, his features were set anddrawn, Said;`Anna, it would have been better for you if you had notbeen born.`Anna jumped up from the table, Anna started to scream,But Victor cam slowly after her like a horror in a dream.She dodged behind the sofa, she tore down a curtain rod,But Victor came slowly after her, said` Prepare to meet Thy God.`He stood there above the body, he stood there holding the knife;And the blood ran down the stairs and sang; ` I am the Resurrectionand the Life.`They tapped Victor on the shoulder, they took him awayin a van;He sat as quiet as a lump of moss saying; ` I am the Son ofMan.`Victor sat in a cornerMaking a woman of clay.Saying:` I am Alpha and Omega, I shall comeTo judge the earth one day.`
