Hymn to St. Cecilia, Op. 27 Lyrics by Benjamin Britten
Like a black swan as death came on
And by ocean’s margin this innocent virgin

Like a black swan as death came on
And by ocean’s margin this innocent virgin
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone

Sleep, sleep, beauty bright
Dreaming o’er the joys of night;
On a poet’s lips I slept
Dreaming like a love-adept
Down by the salley gardens
My love and I did meet;
He bear him off, he bear him down
He bear him into an orchard ground
