3 Songs on Words by Keats: Song, gently – Modern Love, jolly – On Visiting the Tomb of Burns, pensively
No full textEngraved score on vellum music score paper for medium voice and piano. The words are from John Keats' poems "Song, I had a dove", "Modern Love", and "On Visiting the Tomb of Burns". There is no collective title.Vocal, Piano9 pages; 11 x 13 1/2Song - I had a dove
I HAD a dove and the sweet dove died;
And I have thought it died of grieving:
O, what could it grieve for? Its feet were tied,
With a silken thread of my own hand's weaving;
Sweet little red feet! why should you die -
Why should you leave me, sweet bird! why?
You liv'd alone in the forest-tree,
Why, pretty thing! would you not live with me?
I kiss'd you oft and gave you white peas;
Why not live sweetly, as in the green trees?
Modern Love
And what is love? It is a doll dress’d up
For idleness to cosset, nurse, and dandle;
A thing of soft misnomers, so divine
That silly youth doth think to make itself
Divine by loving, and so goes on
Yawning and doting a whole summer long,
Till Miss’s comb is made a pearl tiara,
And common Wellingtons turn Romeo boots;
Then Cleopatra lives at number seven,
And Antony resides in Brunswick Square.
Fools! if some passions high have warm’d the world,
If Queens and Soldiers have play’d deep for hearts,
It is no reason why such agonies
Should be more common than the growth of weeds.
Fools! make me whole again that weighty pearl
The Queen of Egypt melted, and I’ll say
That ye may love in spite of beaver hats.
On Visiting the Tomb of Burns
The town, the churchyard, and the setting sun,
The clouds, the trees, the rounded hills all seem,
Though beautiful, cold — strange — as in a dream
I dreamed long ago, now new begun.
The short-liv’d, paly summer is but won
From winter’s ague for one hour’s gleam;
Through sapphire warm their stars do never beam:
All is cold Beauty; pain is never done.
For who has mind to relish, Minos-wise,
The real of Beauty, free from that dead hue
Sickly imagination and sick pride
Cast wan upon it? Burns! with honour due
I oft have honour’d thee. Great shadow, hide
Thy face; I sin against thy native skies

The Lord clothes himself with might and fastens on his belt of wrath.
Thou hast fixed the earth immovable and firm,
Thy throne firm from of old; firm from of old;
From all eternity thou art God.
O Lord, the ocean lifts up, the ocean lifts up its clamor;
The ocean lifts up its pounding waves.
The Lord on high is mightier far than the noise of great waters
Mightier than the breakers of the sea.
Thy law stands firm, and holiness is the beauty of thy temple,
While time shall last, while time shall last, O Lord
