benjamin britten - hymn lyrics

Loading...

queen and huntress, chaste and fair
now the sun is laid to sleep
seated in thy silver chair
state in wonted manner keep:
hesperus entreats thy light
hesperus entreats thy light
goddess, goddess excellently bright

earth, let not thy envious shade
dare itself to interpose;
cynthia’s shining orb was made
heav’n to clear when day did close:
bless us then with wishèd sight
bless us then with wishèd sight
goddess excellently bright

lay thy bow of pearl apart
and thy crystal shining quiver;
give unto the flying hart
sp-ce to breathe, how short so-ever:
thou that mak’st a day of night
thou that mak’st a day of night
thou that mak’st
goddess, goddess, goddess, goddess excellently bright
