Out in the windy West
Music: Walter Parratt (1841–1924) · Words: Arthur Christopher Benson
Rose the sweet silvern isles,
arose,
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (6:28) 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
Rose the sweet silvern isles,
arose,
arose and proudly stood.
Green grows the meadowgrass about the
pleasant isle, the meadowgrass about the
isle; Grey are the towers, far seen o'er many a
woodland mile,
far seen o'er many a woodland mile.
There, there in the gracious fulness of the
latter days Reigns the great Queen,
whose name the Orient Oceans praise,
whose name the Orient Oceans praise,
the Orient Oceans praise. What merry breezes
would not crack their cheeks to laud her?
what merry breezes would not crack their
cheeks to laud her,
to laud her,
what merry breezes would not crack their
cheeks, would not crack their cheeks to laud
her?
to laud her?
to laud her?
Throned in the silvern isles,
Reigns the great Queen,
whose very name, whose very name is Victory.
Reign on, Victoria, reign, reign on!
Reign on, Victoria, reign,
reign on, Victoria, riegn, reign on!
reign on!
reign on!
reign on, Victoria,
Reign!
What merry breezes would not crack their
cheeks to laud her?
what merry breezes would not crack their
cheeks to laud her, would not crack their cheeks
to laud her,
Rose the sweet silvern isles,
arose,
arose and proudly stood. Green grows the
meadowgrass about the pleasant isle,
green grows the meadowgrass about the isle;
Grey are the towers, far seen o'er many a
woodland, woodland mile, far seen o'er many a
woodland mile.
There, there in the gracious fulness of the
latter days Reigns the great Queen,
whose name the Orient Oceans praise,
whose name the Orient Oceans praise,
the Orient Oceans praise. What merry breezes
would not crack their cheeks to laud her?
what merry breexes,
what merry breezes would not crack their
cheeks to laud her,
what merry breezes would not crack their
cheeks, would not crack their cheeks to laud
her?
to laud her?
to laud her?
Throned in the silvern isles,
Reigns the great Queen,
whose very name, whose very very name is
Victory. Reign on, Victoria,
reign, Reign on!
Reign on, Victoria, reign!
reign on, reign on!
reign on!
reign on!
reign on, Victoria,
Reign!
Amid the swelling flood,
Rose the sweet silvern isles,
arose,
arose and proudly stood. Green grows the
meadowgrass about the pleasant isle,
green grows the meadow grass about the
pleasant isle;
Grey are the towers, far seen o'er many a
woodland, woodland mile,
far seen o'er many a woodland mile.
There in the gracious fulness of the latter
days Reigns the great Queen,
whose name the Orient Oceans praise,
whose name the Orient Oceans praise,
the Orient Oceans praise.
What gallant Captains would not give their
lives to guard her?
what gallant Captains would not give their
lives to guard her,
what gallant Captains would not give their
lives to guard her? what breezes would not
crack their cheeks, would not crack their cheeks
to laud her?

Amid the swelling sea, throned in the silvern
isles,
Reigns the great Queen,
whose very name, whose very very name is
Victory. Reign on, Victoria,

on, Reign on, Victoria, reign!
Reign on, Victoria reign, reign on!

Out in the windy West, amid the swelling,
swelling flood, Rose the sweet silvern isles,
arose,

about the pleasant isle;
Grey are the towers, far seen o'er many a mile,
far seen o'er many a woodland mile.
There in the gracious fulness of the latter
days Reigns the great Queen,
