about
1827, T. Croften Croker wrote ‘The story of The Little Bird’. A story told to him by an old lady at a holy well; of a monastic rose garden, a song bird and a monk. My musical interpretation of that reading…a happy death song.
lyrics
The Bird and The Rose
Never was anything sweet sounding so pure, like a harp with moonbeams for strings.
I see with my own eyes a songbird, she soared to the rose tree to sing me some more.
Never was anything on this earth so sweet, like a lark’s voice in desolation.
I’m here in the grove, the songbird she sang, then took flight, sweet bird on the wing.
Never was anything sweet sounding so pure, I followed like lamb to the ewe;
To the rose tree delighted by soft tuneful song, the sun setting low in the west.
Never had I seen the most colour in the world. Oh! This morning enchanted and changed!
My bird she’s an angel of white seraphim, lifts my soul from my heart to the rose.
Never was anything sweet sounding so pure, like a harp with moonbeams for wings.
I see with my own eyes, a songbird she soared, to the rose tree on my angel wings.
My bird she’s an angel of white seraphim, lifts my soul from my heart to the rose.
My bird she’s an angel of white seraphim, lifts my soul from my heart to the rose.
