Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings, Op.31: VI. Hymn |
Queen and huntress, chaste and fair |
Now the sun is laid to sleep |
Seated in thy silver chair |
State in wonted manner keep: |
Hesperus entreats thy light |
Hesperus entreats thy light |
Goddess, goddess excellently bright |
Earth, let not thy envious shade |
Dare itself to interpose; |
Cynthia’s shining orb was made |
Heav’n to clear when day did close: |
Bless us then with wishèd sight |
Bless us then with wishèd sight |
Goddess excellently bright |
Lay thy bow of pearl apart |
And thy crystal shining quiver; |
Give unto the flying hart |
Space to breathe, how short so-ever: |
Thou that mak’st a day of night |
Thou that mak’st a day of night |
Thou that mak’st |
Goddess, goddess, goddess, goddess excellently bright |
