charles villiers stanford - diaphenia lyrics

Loading...

diaphenia, like the daffadowndilly
white as the sun, fair as the lily
heigh ho, how i do love thee!
i do love thee as my lambs
are belovèd of their dams:
how blest were i if thou would’st prove me

diaphenia, like the spreading roses
that in thy sweets all sweets encloses
fair sweet, how i do love thee!
i do love thee as each flower
loves the sun’s life+giving power;
for dead, thy breath to life might move me

diaphenia, like to all things blessèd
when all thy praises arе expressèd
dear joy, how i do lovе thee!
as the birds do love the spring
or the bees their careful king;
then in requite, sweet virgin, love me!
