doyly carte opera company - sighing softly to the river lyrics
ballad and finale of act ii: sighing softly to the
river
general: sighing softly to the river
comes the loving breeze,
setting nature all a-quiver,
rustling through the trees.
men: through the trees.
general: and the brook, in rippling measure,
laughs for very love,
while the poplars, in their pleasure,
wave their arms above.
men: yes, the trees, for very love,
wave their leafy arms above.
all: river, river, little river,
may thy loving prosper ever!
heaven speed thee, poplar tree,
may thy wooing happy be.
general: yet, the breeze is but a rover,
when he wings away,
brook and poplar mourn a lover
sighing ,”well-a-day!”
men: “well-a-day!”
general: ah! the doing and undoing,
that the rogue could tell!
when the breeze is out a-wooing,
who can woo so well?
men: shocking tales the rogue could tell,
n-body can woo so well.
all: pretty brook, thy dream is over,
for thy love is but a rover;
sad the lot of poplar trees,
courted by a fickle breeze!
