Product details
Alba (Aubade)
Hyperion's clear star is not yet risen.
Dawn brings a tenuous light across the earth,
The watcher to the sleeper cries, "Arise!"
Dawn over the dark sea brings on the sun;
She leans across the hilltop: see, the light!
Behold the ambush of the enemy
Stealing to take the heedless in their sleep,
And still the herald's voice that cries "Arise!"
Dawn over the dark sea brings on the sun;
She leans across the hilltop: see, the light!
The North wind from Acturus now blows free,
The stars go into hiding in the sky,
And nearer to the sunrise swings the Plough.
Dawn over the dark sea brings on the sun;
She leans across the hilltop: see, the light!
(10th Century Manuscript,
English translation, Helen Waddell)
