¶Lyrics / Text

Unheard in summer’s flaring ray, Pour forth thy notes, sweet singer, Wooing the still sweet autumn day; Bid it a moment linger, Nor fly Too soon from Winter’s scowling eye. The blackbird’s song at eventide, And hers, who gay ascends, Filling the heavens far and wide, Are sweet. But none so blends As thine, With calm decay, and peace divine. From “The Christian Year” Twenty-first Sunday after Trinity
