Subject: Lyr Add: Feather Dove From: toadfrog Date: 13 Jan 03 - 01:50 AM This is a very beautiful song, and I hope there is a place for it here. As sung, it has a great deal of melodic ornamentation and would be v. difficult to MIDI - even for someone a lot more skillful than I. FEATHER DOVE(Traditional)Oh, were I like the feather dove, And innocence had wings, I'd fly, And make an __ remove, From all these restless scenes. I would to some wild forest go, And find a peaceful ho-me, Where storms of malice never blow, And sorrows never come. The birds fly o'er the sun's bright face, While I must here on Earth remain, Or shall my fortunes lie, On the highest mountain crown, I would my dreams of wealth forego, And find a peaceful ho-me, Where storms of malice never blow, And sorrows never come. Sung by Helena Triplett on Green are the Woods. The liner notes state: "I learned this beautiful fragment of a Baptist hymn from Freeman Van Gilder, recorded by L.W. Chappell in 1939." "Beautiful" is a fair characterization of the song. |
