Lyrics:
(W. H. Auden) Victor was a little baby, into this world he came: His father took him on his knee and said: ' Don't dishonour the family Name. ' Victor looked up at his father- loked up with big round eyes: His father said: ' Victor, my only son, don't you ever tell lies. ' It was a frosty December, it wsn't the season for fruits; His father fell dead of heart disease while lacing up his boots. It was a frosty December when into his grave he sank; His uncle found Victor a post as a cashier in the Midlands Counties Bank. It was a frosty December Victor was only eighteen. But his figures were neat and his margins straight and his cuffs were Always clean. He took a room at the Peveril, a respectableboarding-house: And Time Watched Victor day after day as a cat willwatch a mouse. Victor went up to his bedroom, set the alarm bell; Climbed into his bed, took his bible and read of happend to Jezebel. It was the First of April, Anna to the Peveril came; Her eyes, her lips, her breasts, her hips and her smile set men Aflame. It was the Second of April, she was wearing a coat of fur; Victor met her upon the stairs and fell in love with her. The first time he made his proposal, she laughed, said: ' I'll never Wed': The second time there was a pause, then she shook her head. Anna Looked at the mirror, pouted and gave a frown; Said; 'Victor's as dull As a wet afternoon but I've got to settle down. ' The third time hemade his proposal, as they walked by the Reservoir, She gave him a kiss like a blowon the head, said, 'You are my heart's Desire. ' They married early in August, she said; 'Kiss me, you funny Boy': Victor took her in his arms and said: 'o my Helen of Troy. ' The clerks were talking of Anna, the door was just ajar: One said: 'Poor old Victor, but where ignorance is bliss, etcetera. ' Victor looked up at the sunset as he stood there all alone; Cried: 'Are You in Heaven, Father? ', but the sky said'Address not known. ' Victor looked up at the mountains, the mountains all covered with Snow; Cried: 'Are you pleased with me, Father? ' and the answer came Back, No. Victor came to the forest, cried: 'Father, will she ever be True? ' And the oaks and the beeches shook their heads and they Answered: ' Not to you. ' Victor came to the meadow where the wind went Sweeping by: Cried: ' O Father, I love her so, ' but the wind said: ' She Must die. ' Victor came to the river running so deep and so still; Crying: ' O Father, what shall I do? ' and the river answered: ' Kill. ' Anna was sitting at table, drawing cards from a pack; Anna was sitting at table waiting for her husband to come back. Victor stood in the doorway, he didn't utter a word; She said: 'What's the matter, darling? ' he behaved as if he hadn't Heard. There was a voice in his left ear, there was a voice in the Right, There was a voice at the base of his skull saying: 'She must die Tonight. ' Victor picked up a carving knife, his features were set and Drawn, Said; 'Anna, it would have been better for you if you had not Been born. ' Anna jumped up from the table, Anna started to scream, But Victor cam slowly after her like a horror in a dream. She dodged behind the sofa, she tore down a curtain rod, But Victor came slowly after her, said' Prepare to meet Thy God. ' He stood there above the body, he stood there holding the knife; And the blood ran down the stairs and sang; ' I am the Resurrection And the Life. ' They tapped Victor on the shoulder, they took him away In a van; He sat as quiet as a lump of moss saying; ' I am the Son of Man. ' Victor sat in a corner Making a woman of clay. Saying: ' I am Alpha and Omega, I shall come To judge the earth one day. '
