O Mistress Mine
Music: Roger Quilter (1877–1953) · Words: William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
O mistress mine, where are you roaming?
O stay and hear, your true love’s coming,
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (1:03) and stops after the last: the piano and the words come from the score, so a key change or a slower tempo changes no sound file.
The microphone is asked for only when you press its button. What it hears is measured and scored on this device and never leaves it; nothing is kept unless you record and save the file yourself. What is kept, and where.
The words
O mistress mine, where are you roaming?
O stay and hear, your true love’s coming,
That can sing both high and low; Trip no
further, pretty sweeting; Journeys end in
lovers’ meeting, Ev’ry wise man’s son doth
know.
What is love? ’tis not hereafter,
Present mirth hath present laughter;
What’s to come is still unsure: In delay there
lies no plenty; Then come kiss me,
Sweetandtwenty, Youth’s a stuff will not
endure, not endure.
Mistress mine, where are you roaming?
