Love Enthroned
Music: Liza Lehmann (1862–1918) · Words: Alfred Perceval Graves (1846–1931) · lyricist: Emanuel Geibel (1815–1884)
O sweet the rose in summer blowing,
And sweet the blackbird’s chanted lay;
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (3:59) 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
O sweet the rose in summer blowing,
And sweet the blackbird’s chanted lay;
And oh! how fair the lily glowing Be– neath
the golden eye of day. And yet I know a joy
excelling The raptures of a poet’s telling,
The lily’s lamp, the radiant rose,
It is that surest, purest pleasure,
That in our heart of hearts we treasure,
The love that only Heaven knows.
When so much wealth we hold within us,
Our hearts from ev’ry care are free,
For calm contentment it must win us,
Though tossed like foam upon life's sea.
Aye, though all ills conspire to flout us,
Yet love’s within, around, about us,
A tower of strength, an angel arm,
It is the torch that flames beside us Through
labyrinthine glooms to guide us,
’Tis May in winter, peace in storm.
O sweet the rose in summer blowing,
And sweet the blackbird’s chanted lay;
And oh! how fair the lily glowing Be– neath
the golden eye of day. And yet I know a joy
excelling The raptures of a poet’s telling,
The lily’s lamp, the radiant rose,
It is that surest, purest pleasure,
That in our heart of hearts we treasure,
The love that only Heaven knows.
When so much wealth we hold within us,
Our hearts from ev’ry care are free,
For calm contentment it must win us,
Though tossed like foam upon life's sea.
Aye, though all ills conspire to flout us,
Yet love’s within, around, about us,
A tower of strength, an angel arm,
It is the torch that flames beside us Through
labyrinthine glooms to guide us,
’Tis May in winter, peace in storm.
