One press of Sing plays this song on this device (1:43) 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

I am the rose upon the mead in silent

fragrance flow’ring

spread me, But thine the steadfast hand that

stayed, And into daylight led me

I am the rose upon the mead, In silent

fragrance flow’ring, But Love’s the dew with

pearly bead Upon my petals show’r– ing.

I am the cup of crystal shine, Before a

monarch gleaming, But Love’s the rosy nectar

wine In– to the goblet streaming.

I am the rose up– on the mead, In silent

fragrance flow’ring!

I was the rugged jasper stone That in the

earth lay darkling, And thou the light,

and thou alone, That set its colours

sparkling.

I was a mortal sore dismayed, such darkness

overspread me, But thine the steadfast hand

that stayed, And into daylight led me,

thine the steadfast hand that stayed,

And into daylight led me!
