Somewhere
 (Sung text for setting by M. Lang)
 Matches base text
Language: English 
The weasel thieves in silver suit,	
  The rabbit runs in gray;	
And Pan takes up his frosty flute	
  To pipe the cold away.	
 
The flocks are folded, boughs are bare,	        
  The salmon take the sea;	
And O my fair, would I somewhere	
  Might house my heart with thee!

Composition:

    Set to music by Margaret Ruthven Lang (1867 - 1972), "Somewhere", op. 40 (Four songs) no. 1 [ voice and piano ]
