Is she not passing fair, She whom I love so
well?
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (2:11) 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
Is she not passing fair, She whom I love so
well?
On earth, in sea, or air, Where may her equal
dwell? Oh tell me, ye who dare To brave her
beauty's spell, Is she not passing fair,
She whom I love so well?
Whether she speak or sing, Be jocund or
serene,
Alike in ev'rything, Is she not beauty's
queen? Whether she speak or sing,
Be jocund or serene, Alike in ev'rything,
Is she not beauty's queen? Is she not passing
fair, She whom I love so well?
On earth, in sea, or air, Where may her equal
dwell? Then let the world declare,
let all who see her tell, That she is passing
fair, passing fair, She whom I
