Love’s Journey
Music: Sir Harold Boulton, 2nd Baronet (1859–1935) · Words: Harold Boulton (1859–1935)
Moonbeam purest and serenest That from
Heav’n’s pale vapour leanest,
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (3:06) 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
Moonbeam purest and serenest That from
Heav’n’s pale vapour leanest,
Shining earthward far away With thy lustrous
silver ray, Shine on my beloved’s home,
shine on my beloved’s home, Tell her,
tell her swift as thee I come.
Dawning sun, thou orb of wonder,
Rolling sable clouds asunder,
Shake the dun mist from thy brow,
Rim with gold her dwelling now; Tell her,
glorious messenger, tell her, glorious
messenger, tell her how I haste to come to
her.
Night’s long journeyings are over,
I am come to thee, dear lover, I am come,
I am come to thee
Here I wait at earliest dawn, ’Mid the roses
on thy lawn, here I wait at earliest dawn ’mid
the roses on thy lawn, here I wait ‘mid the
roses.
Open wide thy window, Sweet, open wide thy
window, Sweet, Open wide, open wide!
am kneeling at thy feet, I am kneeling at thy
feet.
