Orpheus With His Lute Lyrics by Eric Coates

Four Old English Songs

0

Orpheus with his lute made trees
\nAnd the mountain-tops that freeze
\nBow themselves, when he did sing:
\nTo his music, plants and flowers
\nEver sprung; as sun and showers
\nThere had made a lasting spring
\n
\nEverything that heard him play
\nEven the billows of the sea
\nHung their heads, and then lay by
\nIn sweet music is such art:
\nKilling care and grief of heart
\nFall asleep, or, hearing, die\n\n
