I praise the tender flower
Music: Charles Villiers Stanford (1852–1924) · Words: Robert Seymour Bridges (1844–1930)
I praise the tender flower, That on a mournful
day Bloomed in my garden bower,
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (1:56) 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
I praise the tender flower, That on a mournful
day Bloomed in my garden bower,
And made the winter gay.
Its loveliness contented my heart tormented.
I praise the gentle maid, whose happy voice
and smile To confidence betrayed
My doleful heart awhile:
And gave my spirit deploring Fresh wings for
soaring.
The maid for very fear
of love I durst not tell: The rose could never
hear,
though I bespake her well: So in my song I bind
them For all to find them.
