The Spirit’s Song, Hob.XXVIa:41
Music: Joseph Haydn (1732–1809) · Words: Anne Hunter (1742–1821)
Hark!
Hark!
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (4:13) 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
Hark!
Hark!
what I tell to thee!
Nor sorrow o'er the tomb, nor sorrow o'er the
tomb;
My Spirit wanders free, my Spirit wanders
free, And waits, and waits till thine shall
come.
All pensive and alone,
I see thee sit and weep, Thy heart upon the
stone,
Where my cold ashes sleep,
where my cold ashes sleep.
I watch thy speaking eyes, And mark each
falling tear,
I catch thy passing sighs,
I catch thy passing sighs,
Ere they are lost in air.
Hark!
Hark!
what I tell to thee!
Nor sorrow, nor sorrow o'er the tomb.
My Spirit wanders free, my Spirit wanders
free, And waits
till thine
shall come.
My Spirit wanders free,
And waits,
and waits till thine shall come,
till thine shall come.
