A Pastoral Song, Hob.XXVIa:27
Music: Joseph Haydn (1732–1809) · Words: Anne Hunter (1742–1821)
My Mother bids me bind my hair, With bands of
rosy hue;
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (2:00) 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
My Mother bids me bind my hair, With bands of
rosy hue;
Tie up my sleeves with ribands rare,
And lace my boddice blue.
Tie up my sleeves with ribands rare,
And lace, and lace my boddice blue.
For why, she cries, sit still and weep,
While others dance and play?
A- las! I scarce can go, or creep,
While Lubin is a- way.
Alas! I scarce can go, or creep,
While Lubin is away
While Lubin is a- way, is away,
is away.
'Tis sad to think the days are gone,
When those we love are near;
I sit upon this mossy stone, And sigh when
none can hear.
I sit up- on this mossy stone, And sigh,
and sigh when none can hear.
And while I spin my flaxen thread,
And sing my simple lay;
The Village seems asleep, or dead,
Now Lubin is away.
The Village seems asleep, or dead,
Now Lubin is away.
Now Lubin is away, is away, is away.
