O tuneful Voice, Hob.XXVIa:42
Music: Joseph Haydn (1732–1809) · Words: Anne Hunter (1742–1821)
O tuneful voice!
I still deplore
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (4:31) 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 tuneful voice!
I still deplore
thy accents, I still de- plore,
Which, though
heard no more,
Still vibrate on my heart;
still vibrate
on my heart.
The accents which, though heard no more,
Still vibrate
on my heart. still vibrate on my heart,
still vibrate on my heart.
In Echo’s cave I long to dwell
And still to hear that sad farewell,
When we were forc’d to part,
And still to hear that sad farewell,
When we
were forc’d
to part, were forc’d
to part.
Bright Eyes!
O that the task were mine
To guard the liquid fires
that shine,
And round your orbits play!
To watch them
with a Vestal’s care
To feed with smiles a light so fair
That it might
ne’er decay,
that it might
ne’er decay.
To feed with smiles a light so fair
That it might
ne’er de- cay,
that it might
ne’er de- cay, that it might ne’er de- cay,
that it might ne’er de- cay, that it might
ne’er decay. that it might ne’er de- cay.
