It was published in the ''Souvenir of the Charing Cross Hospital Bazaar'', and its first performance was at the Royal Albert Hall on 21 June 1899. ==Lyrics== DRY THOSE FAIR, THOSE CRYSTAL EYES :Dry those fair, those crystal eyes, :Which, like growing fountains, rise, :To drown their banks : grief’s sullen brooks :Would better flow in furrow’d looks ; :Thy lovely face was never meant :To be the shore of discontent. :Then clear those waterish stars again, :Which else portend a lasting rain ; :Lest the clouds which settle there, :Prolong my winter all the year, :And thy example others make :In love with sorrow for thy sake. 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「Dry those fair, those crystal eyes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
