To her beneath whose stedfast star
Music: Walter Parratt (1841–1924) · Words: Frederic William Henry Myers
To her beneath whose stedfast star From pole
to pole in lusty play Her English wander,
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (4:16) 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
To her beneath whose stedfast star From pole
to pole in lusty play Her English wander,
forcing far Their worldingath'ring way;
Out– soar the Cæsar's eagle flight,
Outrun, out– run the Macedonian reign,
Flash from the flamy Northern night Speech to
the Austral main:
To her whose patient eyes have seen Man's
knowledge wax thro' ebb and flow,
Till some have felt those bars between Wind of
the Spirit blow;
Tho' some, heartworn with doubt and strife,
Would bid the doomful thunder fall,
Bind as with bands, with bands the cosmic Life,
And dream the end of all: Beyond,
beyond their wisdom's bound, Thro' fairer
realms the Queen shall roam, Till soul with soul
the Wife hath found Her mysticwedded home her
mystic– wedded home:
While her longrumoured glories stir The
earthengirdling wave, While her longrumoured
glories stir The blue tide’s earthengirdling
wave, The blue tide's earthengirdling wave,
With love, with life, her Prince and her,
with love, with life, her Prince and her The
AllFather shield shield, shield and save!
Let the Queen live,
live for ever, Let the Queen live for ever,
live for ever!
To her, to her beneath whose stedfast star
From pole to pole in lusty play Her English
wander, forcing far Their worldingath'ring
way; Outsoar the Cæsar's eagle flight,
Outrun, outrun the Macedonian reign,
Flash, flash from the flamy Northern night
Speech to the Austral main:
To her, to her whose patient eyes have seen
Man's knowledge wax thro' ebb and flow,
Till some have felt those bars between some
have felt Wind of the Spirit blow;
Tho' some, heartworn with doubt and strife,
Would bid the doomful thunder fall,
Bind as with bands, with bands the cosmic Life,
And dream the end of all: Beyond,
beyond their wisdom's bound,
Thro' fairer realms
the Queen
shall roam, Till soul with soul the Wife hath
found Her mysticwedded home her
mystic– wedded home:
Her longrumoured glories stir The blue tide's
wave,
her glories stir
her glories stir
The blue tide's earthengirdling wave,
Her longrumoured glories stir,
While her longrumoured glories stir The blue
tide's earthengirdling wave, The blue tide's
earthengirdling wave, With love,
with life, her Prince and her The AllFather
shield and save! With love, with life,
her Prince and her The AllFather shield and
save, the All– Father shield and save!
Let the Queen live for ever, live for ever,
Let the Queen live for ever!
To her, to her, to her beneath whose stedfast
star From pole to pole in lusty play Her
English wander, forcing far Their
worldingath'ring way;
Out– soar the Cæsar's eagle flight,
the Cæsar's eagle flight,
Flash, flash from the flamy Northern night
Speech to the Austral main:
To her, to her whose patient, patient eyes
have seen Man's knowledge wax thro' ebb and
flow, Till some have felt Wind of the Spirit,
Wind of the Spirit blow; Tho' some,
heartworn with doubt and strife,
Would bid the doomful thunder fall,
Bind as with bands, with bands the cosmic Life,
And dream, dream the end of all: Beyond,
beyond their wisdom's bound, Thro' fairer
realms
the Queen
shall roam, Till soul with soul the Wife hath
found Her mysticwedded home her
mystic– wedded home: While her longrumoured
glories stir,
while her longrumoured glories stir The blue
tide's earthengirdling wave, While her
longrumoured glories stir The blue tide's
earthengirdling wave, While her longrumoured
glories stir, While her longrumoured glories
stir The blue tide, the blue tide's
earthengirdling wave, With love,
with life, her Prince and her The AllFather
shield and save! With love, with life,
her Prince and her The AllFather shield and
save, the All– Father shield and save!
Let the Queen live for ever, live for ever,
Let the Queen, let the Queen live for ever,
for ever!
To her, to her beneath whose stedfast star
From pole to pole in lusty play her English
wander, forcing far Their worldingath'ring
way; Outsoar the Cæsar's eagle flight,
Outrun, outrun the Macedonian reign,
Flash, flash from the flamy Northern night
Speech to the Austral main:
To her, to her whose patient eyes have seen
Man's knowledge wax thro' ebb and flow,
Till some have felt
those bars between Wind of the Spirit blow;
Would bid the doomful thunder fall,
Bind as with bands, with bands the cosmic Life,
And dream the end of all: Beyond,
beyond their wisdom's bound, Thro' fairer
realms the Queen shall roam, Till soul with soul
the Wife hath found Her mysticwedded home her
mystic– wedded home: While her longrumoured
glories stir The blue tide's earthengirdling
wave, While her longrumoured glories stir The
blue tide's earthengirdling wave,
While her longrumoured glories stir The blue
tide's earthen_ girdling wave,
With love, with life, her Prince and her The
AllFather shield and save shield and save!
Let the Queen live for ever, live for ever,
Let the Queen live for ever!
