Oriental Serenade Matches base text
Language: English
The moon, and the stars are none so shy as thou; Cold is thy heart, O Love, for thou heedest not my cry! Sadly I want for a sight of thee, Beneath thy lattice, lone and drear. Pity is a stranger to thy breast; Love kindles anger there; Despair, a smile: Cold is thy heart, O love, for thou heedest my cry. Ah!
Composition:
- Set to music by Margaret Ruthven Lang (1867 - 1972), "Oriental Serenade", op. 8 no. 1 [ voice and piano ], from Three Songs of the East, no. 1, Schmidt
