TRANSCRIPT (R1)
The Everlasting Gospel (part).
My Spectre around me night and day.
To find the western path.
Three virgins at the break of day.
I see, I see, the mother said.
Where thou dwellest, in what grove.
Why was Cupid a boy.
If e'er I grow to man's estate.
Sleep, sleep, beauty bright.
When the voices of children are heard on the green.
The look of love alarms.
I heard an angel singing.
I give you the end of a golden string.
I laid me down upon a bank.
A flower was offer'd to me.
The angel who presided o'er my birth.
I saw a chapel all of gold.
Never seek to tell thy love.
Great things are done when men and mountains meet.
I wander'd the forest.
