Glide gently Matches base text
Language: English
Glide gently, thus for ever, ever glide, O Thames! that other bards may see As lovely visions by thy side As now, fair river! come to me. O glide, fair stream, for ever so, Thy quiet soul on all bestowing, Till all our minds for ever flow As thy deep waters now are flowing.
Composition:
- Set to music by William Walton (1902 - 1983), "Glide gently", 1962 [ voice and piano or orchestra ], from A Song for the Lord Mayor's Table, no. 2
