LOVE AND HARMONY COMBINE

Set by John Mitchell (1941-) op. 1 (1964, 1977).
Texts by 윌리엄 블레이크 (1757-1827)


 Love and harmony combine
 And around our souls  entwine
 While thy branches mix with mine,
 And our roots together join.

 Joys upon our branches sit,
 Chirping loud, and singing sweet;
 Like gentle streams beneath our feet
 Innocence and virtue meet.

 Thou the golden fruit dost bear,
 I am clad in flowers fair;
 Thy sweet boughs perfume the air,
 And the turtle buildeth there

 There she sits and feeds her young,
 Sweet I hear her mournful song;
 And thy lovely leaves among
 There is love:  I hear his tongue
