Okay, my first video, it is not perfect. I hope you enjoy the music: Mychael Danna "Now Sleeps The Crimson Petal" (words Lord Alfred Tennyson 1809-1892)

  • where did you find this song?? is in the soundtrack of the movie??? i really would like to now!!

  • Hello karolyn82.

    soundtrack "Vanity Fair", composer Mychael Danna. 

  • Reese did such a superb job 'acting' that one can believe the voice is indeed hers, but in fact Custer Larue is the lovely singer.

  • In this version Sissel Kyrkjebo sings the song.

  • Yes I agree with you about how the song just shouldn't be sung by a man - it grates.

  • Thank you Alfred, Lord Tennyson for this unbelievably beautiful poem. Your poetry shall live forever.

  • @mondbruder Thou are incorrect....Sissel sang the opening "She walks in Beauty"....This is indeed Custer LARUE.!!

  • ...we can hear the words perfectly well without you writing them out ....

  • Now sleeps the crimson petal, now the white; Nor waves the cypress in the palace walk; Nor winks the gold fin in the porphyry font: The firefly wakens: waken thou with me. Now droops the milkwhite peacock like a ghost, And like a ghost she glimmers

  • on to me. Now lies the Earth all Danae to the stars, And all thy heart lies open unto me. Now slides the silent meteor on, and leaves A shining furrow, as thy thoughts in me. Now folds the lily all her sweetness up, And slips into the bosom of the lake: So fold thyself, my dearest, thou, and slip Into my bosom and be lost in me.
