"There is a garden in her face" (John Ireland) - Studentenvrouwenkoor Medusa - June 22, 2008
0"There is a garden in her face" composed by John Ireland, performed by Studentenvrouwenkoor Medusa at the summer concert at June 22, 2008, in the Aula of the Utrecht University Academy Building, Utrecht, The Netherlands.
Text by Richard Alison:
There is a Garden in her face,
Where Roses and white Lilies blow;
A heav'nly paradise is that place,
Wherein all pleasant fruits do grow;
There Cherries grow which none may buy,
Till Cherry ripe themselves do cry.
Those Cherries fairly do enclose
Of Orient Pearl a double row,
Which when her lovely laughter shows,
They look like Rose-buds fill'd with snow:
Yet them nor Peer nor Prince can buy,
Till Cherry ripe themselves do cry.
Her Eyes like Angels watch them still,
Her Brows like bended bows do stand,
Threat'ning with piercing frowns to kill
All that approach with eye or hand,
These sacred Cherries to come nigh,
Till Cherry ripe themselves do cry.
