Song: Bring away this Sacred Tree (Campion, set by T. Campion) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Eternitie singes alone

Bring away this Sacred Tree,
The Tree of Grace and Bountie,
              Set it in Bel-Annas eye,
For she, she, only she
              Can all Knotted spels vnty.
Pull'd from the Stocke, let her blest Hands conuay
              To any suppliant Hand, a bough,
              And let that Hand aduance it now
Against a Charme, that Charme shall fade away.
