This entry contributed by G&K around 11/24/98
Know this song? Add your review! Music Comments:
for voice, . "Moderato sostenuto, Throughout with deep emotion," quarter = 66. Tempo changes throughout; late Romantic feel.
Text Comments: Full text: I sat with Love upon a woodside well, Leaning across the water, I and he; Nor ever did he speak nor looked at me, But touched his lute wherein was audible The certain secret thing he had to tell: Only our mirrored eyes met silently In the low wave; and that sound came to be the passionate voice I knew; and my tears fell. And at their fall, his eyes beneath grew hers; And with his foot and with his wing-feathers He swept the spring that watered my heart's drouth. Then the dark ripples spread to waving hair, And as I stooped, her own lips rising there Bubbled with brimming kisses at my mouth. This entry contributed by G&K around 11/24/98.

This entry contributed by David Wolfson around 11/14/99
Know this song? Add your review! Music Comments: Maestoso, quarter =80. High B4 (baritone G4) is only touched upon; G4 (E4) is highest sustained pitch. Text Comments: I shake the day from my shoulders. Our door opens; You are there, Sitting, intent. The room is humble behind you. Your hair flows down your back Like a surprise. I pause. You turn. Our eyes meet- There is a sudden, cleansing memory of bells: Closer than I knew, Clearer than I ever thought to hope. This entry contributed by G&K around 11/14/99.

This entry contributed by Lori Laitman around 10/5/99
Know this song? Add your review! Music Comments: quarter = 100. Beautiful lines reminiscent of spare oriental style. Passionate. Text Comments: I sit at my desk. What can I write to you? Sick with love, I long to see you in the flesh. I can write only, "I love you. I love you. I love you." Love cuts through my heart And tears my vitals. Spasms of longing suffocate me And will not stop. This entry contributed by G&K around 10/5/99. The contributor(s) looked over the song. "I Stop Again"
This entry contributed by ECS Publishing around 12/28/98 Know this song? Add your review! Music Comments: Lento duet of soprano and flute alone. Paired with the next song, "The Picture." A four note motif is repeated and transformed through the piece. Text Comments: [part of a letter written during the Civil War:] I stop again, Alice to close the eyes of a German boy who has no one in this country to mourn for him. His parents live in the Fatherland, and all the record there will be is a number on his grave. See Songs by Daron Hagen (Recordings) This entry contributed by G&K around 12/28/98.
