The manuscript is dated 21 June 1895.〔〔 The song was first performed by the Irish baritone Harry Plunket Greene in St. James's Hall on 2 March 1900, together with A Song of Flight, Op. 31, No.2.〔 ==Lyrics== AFTER :A little time for laughter, ::A little time to sing, ::A little time to kiss and cling, :And no more kissing after. :A little while for scheming ::Love's unperfected schemes ; ::A little time for golden dreams, :Then no more any dreaming. :A little while 'twas given ::To me to have thy love ; ::Now, like a ghost, alone I move :About a ruined heaven. :A little time for speaking ::Things sweet to say and hear ; ::A time to seek, and find thee near, :Then no more any seeking. :A little time for saying ::Words the heart breaks to say; ::A short, sharp time wherein to pray, :Then no more need for praying; :But long, long years to weep in, ::And comprehend the whole ::Great grief, that desolates the soul, :And eternity to sleep in. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「After (Elgar)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
