[Verse 1]
Cruel kindness drew me near and held me close
And I, not knowing kindness to be cruel
Embraced and held with little thought of loss
Or fear of broken heart or broken soul
[Chorus]
But sure as silent moon's sweet subtleties
(Luna, luna e muta)
That oft attract the eye and lure the mind
(Cuore, cuore rubato)
Your moonbeam-charms increasing by degrees
(Spero, spero invano)
Came with enchanting chains, my heart to bind
(Sogno, mi sveglio dal sogno, no)
[Verse 2]
Thus bound and heavenward up from the ground
(Non so se voglio ricordare)
(Ma non posso dimenticare)
You raised me, sev'ring all my ties below
(Sole, luna, stelle, mondo)
(Il mio dolore non ha fondo)
And then, as waking from a dream
(La crudele gentilezza)
(Incantevole bellezza)
I found you gone, and me hang'd high from kindness' bough
(Ingannato ognor mi hanno)
(Con incanto e gran danno)
(Con incanto e gran danno)
Cruel kindness drew me near and held me close
And I, not knowing kindness to be cruel
Embraced and held with little thought of loss
Or fear of broken heart or broken soul
[Chorus]
But sure as silent moon's sweet subtleties
(Luna, luna e muta)
That oft attract the eye and lure the mind
(Cuore, cuore rubato)
Your moonbeam-charms increasing by degrees
(Spero, spero invano)
Came with enchanting chains, my heart to bind
(Sogno, mi sveglio dal sogno, no)
[Verse 2]
Thus bound and heavenward up from the ground
(Non so se voglio ricordare)
(Ma non posso dimenticare)
You raised me, sev'ring all my ties below
(Sole, luna, stelle, mondo)
(Il mio dolore non ha fondo)
And then, as waking from a dream
(La crudele gentilezza)
(Incantevole bellezza)
I found you gone, and me hang'd high from kindness' bough
(Ingannato ognor mi hanno)
(Con incanto e gran danno)
(Con incanto e gran danno)
