Text by Alexander L. Posey (1873-1908)
‘Tis mine to be in love with life,
And mine to hear the robins sing;
‘Tis mine to live apart from strife,
And kneel to flowers blossoming –
To all things fair,
As at a shrine –
To drink the air
As I would wine.
To Love I’ve built a temple here,
Beneath the boughs of oak and pine,
Beside a spring that all the year
Tells of harmony divine.
I own no creeds
Sweet Love beside –
My spirit’s needs
Are satisfied.
Written in 2006 as a commission from Kirsten C. Kunkle. Other available keys include D major and G major, but I can also create other custom keys as your vocal needs suggest.
In E major, the range extends from B3 to G#5.
