Скачать или смотреть Down by the Salley Gardens - Rowan Etzel

Benjamin Britten's arrangement of the Irish folk song. The text is a poem by William Butler Yeats, published in 1889 in The Wanderings of Oisin and Other Poems. Performed during one of my Bowdoin voice recitals on 5/11/18.

Lyrics:

Down by the Salley gardens my love and I did meet;
She passed the Salley gardens with little snow-white feet.
She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;
But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree.

In a field by the river my love and I did stand,
And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white hand.
She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs;
But I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears
