Luyện nghe bài hát Victor

(W.H. Auden)
Victor was a little baby, this world he came:
His father took him on his knee and said:' Don't the family
name.' Victor looked up at his father- up with big round eyes:
His father said:' Victor, my only son, don't you tell lies.'
It was a frosty December, it the season for fruits;
His father dead of heart disease while lacing up his boots.
It was a frosty December when his grave he sank;
His uncle found Victor a post as a in the Midlands Counties
bank.
It was a frosty December Victor was eighteen.
But his figures were and his margins straight and his cuffs were
clean.
He took a room at the Peveril, a respectableboarding-house: And
watched Victor day after day as a cat a mouse.
Victor up to his bedroom, set the alarm bell;
Climbed into his bed, took his and read of happend to Jezebel.
It was the of April, Anna to the Peveril came;
Her eyes, her lips, her breasts, her hips and her set men
aflame. It was the Second of April, she was wearing a of fur;
Victor met her upon the stairs and fell in with her.
The first he made his proposal, she laughed, said:' I'll never

The second there was a pause, then she shook her head. Anna
at the mirror, pouted and gave a frown; Said;'Victor's as dull
as a wet afternoon but I've got to down.'
The third time hemade his proposal, as they by the Reservoir,
She him a kiss like a blowon the head, said,'You are my heart's
desire.'
They married in August, she said;'Kiss me, you funny

Victor took her in his and said:'O my Helen of Troy.'
The clerks talking of Anna, the door was just ajar:
One said:'Poor old Victor, but where is bliss, etcetera.'
Victor looked up at the sunset as he stood there all Cried:'Are
you in Heaven, ?', but the sky said'Address not known.'
looked up at the mountains, the mountains all covered with

Cried:'Are you pleased with me, ?' and the answer came
back,No.
Victor came to the forest, cried:'Father, will she be
?'
And the oaks and the beeches shook their and they
Not to you.'
Victor came to the meadow where the went
sweeping by: Cried:' O Father, I love her so,' but the wind She
die.'
Victor came to the river running so deep and so
Crying:' O Father, what shall I do ?' and the answered:' Kill.'
Anna was sitting at table, drawing from a pack;
Anna was sitting at waiting for her husband to come back.
Victor in the doorway, he didn't utter a word;
She said:'What's the matter, darling ?' he as if he hadn't
heard.
There was a voice in his left ear, there was a in the
right,
There was a voice at the of his skull saying:'She must die
tonight.'
Victor picked up a carving knife, his were set and
drawn, Said;'Anna, it would have been for you if you had not
born.'
Anna up from the table, Anna started to scream,
But Victor cam after her like a horror in a dream.
She behind the sofa, she tore down a curtain rod,
But Victor slowly after her, said' Prepare to meet Thy God.'
He stood there above the body, he stood there holding the
And the blood ran down the stairs and ' I am the Resurrection
and the Life.'
They tapped Victor on the shoulder, they him away
in a
He sat as quiet as a lump of moss ' I am the Son of
Man.'
Victor sat in a
a woman of clay.
Saying:' I am Alpha and Omega, I come
To judge the one day.'
