Text by Alexander L. Posey (1873-1908)
In pensive mood she stood,
In garments white like snow,
Besides the darksome wood,
Amid the twilight glow;
As if she held communion there
With spirits in the fading air.
And loath to break the spell –
The sweet enchantment that
She seemed to love so well -
I backward stept; thereat,
The beauteous vision fled from me
In strange and silent mystery.
Link to live performance by Kirsten C. Kunkle and Helen Meacham: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_I-WVVODOY0 - this one is in the original D minor.
(Note that part of the piano part was slightly revised in 2015, so this will not reflect the revision. It's actually a bit easier in its revised version.)
The range extends from Db4 to a brief Ab5.
I'm happy to create a custom transposition for you if D minor or the high key of F minor are not suitable for you.
