Ernest Farrar (1885-1918): To daffodils
Sanders Lau, conductor
Die Jungen Konzertisten, choir
Text: Robert Herrick (1591-1674)
Fair Daffodils, we weep to see
You haste away so soon;
As yet the early-rising sun
Has not attain'd his noon.
Stay, stay,
Until the hasting day
Has run
But to the even-song;
And, having pray'd together, we
Will go with you along.
We have short time to stay, as you,
We have as short a spring;
As quick a growth to meet decay,
As you, or anything.
We die
As your hours do,
and dry away,
Like to the summer's rain;
Or as the pearls of morning's dew,
Ne'er to be found again.
Recorded on 25 July 2021 in City Hall Concert Hall, Hong Kong.
