29 Jul 00 - 11:22 PM (#267644) Subject: Lyr Add: TEMPERANCE HYMN From: katlaughing Okay, Joe, if I understood you correctly, you want all the lyrics from this book, in this thread, right? Okay, here is another, although it has no tune listed in the book. (I'll bet my grandma sang this one...she was a proud member of the Christian Women's Temperance Union.)Also, I didn't find anything like it in the DT, so here it is: The following hymn appeared first in the Parish Hymns, a collection which has come into extensive use in Presbyterian and Congregational churches, for evening meetings: Temperance Hymn
Mourn for the thousands slain --
Mourn for the tarnished gem --
Mourn for the ruined soul --
Mourn for the lost -- but pray, |

If anyone is interested, I do have it in Noteworthy Composer, with the first verse, and would be happy to email the file. Thanks, again, kat |
09 Dec 10 - 07:53 AM (#3049525) Subject: Lyr Add: IT IS THE TWILIGHT HOUR (Epes Sargent) From: Jim Dixon This was printed as a poem, not a song, in Godey's Lady's Book, Volume 24 (Philadelphia: Louis A. Godey, January, 1842), page 23: IT IS THE TWILIGHT HOUR By Epes Sargent. It is the twilight hour, Leonore! Along the western sky, The clouds of sunset lie, And I hear the pine-grove sigh, Leonore! The purple eve is come, Leonore! The last blush of the day From the lake has fled away, And the mountain-tops are gray, Leonore! Oh! leave thy household task, Leonore! Come where the woodbine twines Its odour-breathing vines; The star of evening shines, Leonore! The song-birds are all mute, Leonore! But dearer far to me, Than note of bird can be, Is a song of love from thee, Leonore! |
