6a Song of the Summer Winds
Music: Ann Mounsey (1811–1891) · Words: George Darley
Up the hill, and down the bourn, O’er the meadow
swift we fly; Now we sing, and now we mourn,
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (2:51) 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
Up the hill, and down the bourn, O’er the meadow
swift we fly; Now we sing, and now we mourn,
Now we whistle, now we sigh.
By the fringed grassy river, Through the
murm’ring reeds we sweep,
To their very hearts we creep.
Now the maiden rose is blushing At the frolic
things we say, While, aside her cheek we’re
rushing, Like some truant Bees at play,
Like some truant Bees at play.
Down, down the glen, across the mountain
O’er the yellow heath we roam,
Whirling round about the fountain,
’Til its little breakers foam.
’Til its little breakers foam.
Bending down the weeping Willows,
While our vesper hymn we sigh, Then,
unto our rosy pillows, On our weary wings we
hie. On our weary wings we hie.
Up the hill, and down the bourn, O’er the meadow
swift we fly; Now we sing and now we mourn,
Now we whistle, now we sigh.
By the fringed grassy river, Through the
murm’ring reeds we sweep, Mid the lily leaves
we quiver, To their very hearts we creep.
While, aside her cheek we’re rushing,
Like some truant Bees at play, Like some truant
Bees at play.
Whirling round about the fountain,
’Til its little breakers foam.
’Til its little breakers foam.
Bending down the weeping Willows,
While our vesper hymn we sigh, Then,
unto our rosy pillows, On our weary wings we
hie. On our weary wings we hie.
Up the hill, and down the bourn, O’er the meadow
swift we fly; Now we sing and now we mourn,
Now we whistle, now we sigh.
Through the murm’ring reeds we sweep,
’Mid the lily leaves we quiver,
To their very, very hearts we creep.
While, aside her cheek we’re rushing,
Like some truant Bees at play,
Like some truant Bees at play.
Whirling round about the fountain,
’Til its little breakers foam.
’Til its little breakers foam.
Bending down the weeping Willows,
While our vesper hymn we sigh, Then,
unto our ro sy pillows, On our weary wings we
hie. On our weary wings we hie.
