IIb. Bugles Sang, Saddening the Evening Air

War Requiem, Op. 66 / Dies irae - Dies irae - IIb. Bugles Sang, Saddening the Evening Air - Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau/Melos Ensemble/Benjamin Britten

Lyrics by：Wilfred Owen

Composed by：Benjamin Britten

Bugles sang saddening the evening air

And bugles answered sorrowful to hear

Bugles sang

Bugles sang

Voices of boys were by the river-side

Sleep mothered them and left the twilight sad

The shadow of the morrow weighed on men

Voices

Voices of old despondency resigned

Resigned

Bowed by the shadow shadow of the morrow slept
