¶Lyrics / Text

From Sapphire seas: With breath of orange trees; Laden with ecstacies; Telling of olive glades Within whose solemn shades Of old the Oracles in whispers spake, Come, thou sweet South! Come from the silvery lake, The vine-clad steep, the temple-guarded stream, Thrilling and quivering in the golden beam. Come with the sound of song, Borne from a lover’s heart, Life’s tenderest strain across the distance fanned. Or merry pipe of peasants on their way To tread the winepress, to tread the winepress and make glad the land. Come with the strain divine Of blessed loves that are the wine of this our life, How stern so-e’er the strife. Come sweetest, happiest voice, Bid weary hearts rejoice. O come, thou aerial Dove, Whose song is all of love, O come and tell of life and love.
