Beloved (Ledwidge, set by M. Head) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Nothing but sweet music wakes
my Beloved, My Beloved,
sleeping by the blue lakes,
My own Beloved! 

Song of lark and song of thrush,
My Beloved! My Beloved! 
Sing in morning's rosy blush,
My own Beloved! 

When you eyes dawn blue and clear,
my Beloved! My Beloved! 
You will find me waiting here,
My own Beloved!
