W. Williams (1717-91) translated by P. Williams.These are the lyrics I was seeking, sung to the Air from County Derry, (Danny Boy, to the Irishly ignorant like me):
(No title given.)
I would be true, for there are those that trust me.
I would be pure, for there are those that care.
I would be strong, for there is much to suffer.
I would be brave, for there is much to dare.
I would be friend of all, the foe, the friendless.
I would be giving, and forget the gift,
I would be humble, for I know my weakness,
I would look up, laugh, love and live.Air from County Derry,
in G Petrie: The Ancient Music of Ireland (1853),
Howard Arnold Walter.(Still like it, sounded lovely.)
For Peter T., this is John Taverner's work:
ALLELUIA. May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.
Remember me O lord, when you come into your kingdom.
Give rest O Lord to your handmaid, who has fallen asleep.
The choir of saints have found the well-spring of life, and door of paradise.
Life: a shadow and a dream.
Weeping at the grave creates the song:
Alleluia. Come, enjoy rewards and crowns I have prepared for you.John Tavener (b 1944),
