charles villiers stanford - corydon, arise! lyrics

Loading...

[phyllida]
corydon, arise, my corydon!
titan shineth clear

[corydon]
who is it that calleth corydon?
who is it that i hear?

[phyllida]
phyllida, thy true love, calleth thee
arise then, arise then
arise and keep thy flock with me!

[corydon]
phyllida, my true love, is it she?
i come then, i come then
i come and keep my flock with thee

[phyllida]
here are cherries ripe for my corydon;
eat them for my sake

[corydon]
here ‘s my oaten pipe, my lovely one
sport for thee to make
[phyllida]
here are threads, my true love, fine as silk
to knit thee, to knit thee
a pair of stockings white as milk

[corydon]
here are reeds, my true love, fine and neat
to make thee, to make thee
a bonnet to withstand the heat

[phyllida]
when my corydon sits on a hill
making melody—

[corydon]
when my lovely one goes to her wheel
singing cheerily—

[phyllida]
sure methinks my true love doth excel
for sweetness, for sweetness
our pan, that old arcadian knight

[corydon]
and methinks my true love bears the bell
for clearness, for clearness
beyond the nymphs that be so bright
[phyllida]
yonder comes my mother, corydon!
whither shall i fly?

[corydon]
under yonder beech, my lovely one
while she passeth by

[phyllida]
say to her thy true love was not here;
remember, remember
to+morrow is another day

[corydon]
doubt me not, my true love, do not fear;
farewell then, farewell then!
heaven keep our loves alway!
