Summer At Last
Music: Alexander Mackenzie (1847–1935) · Words: Alfred Perceval Graves (1846–1931)
Swallows soar in the blue, Butterflies dance
on the green, Roses are blushing the garden
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (2:56) 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
Swallows soar in the blue, Butterflies dance
on the green, Roses are blushing the garden
through, With lilies laughing between,
And bowers long stripp’d by the blast Have
leap’d into leaf at last, And the whole earth
is shouting, “A- way with all doubting!
The winter is over and past,
The winter is over and past.”
No pale face presses the pane,
Open the casements start To the breeze that is
balm to the burning brain, Surcease to the
stricken heart,
While out of the Maybush white The blackbird
lilts with de light, “All melancholy Is
folly, folly, When the June she is glowing
bright,
When the June she is glowing bright.”
March was a hoyden rude, April a flirt
un- steadied,
May a melting maid to be woo’d. But June is a
bride new wedded. Hush, oh, hush and hark For
the nightingale and the lark Link in her
praise Their passionate lays Between the dawn
and the dark,
Between the dawn and the dark.
