by Robert Seymour Bridges (1844 - 1930)

Language: English 
Since we loved, - (the earth that shook
As we kissed, fresh beauty took) -
Love hath been as poets paint,
Life as heaven is to a saint;

All my joys my hope excel,
All my work hath prosper'd well,
All my songs have happy been,
O my love, my life, my queen.

Composition:

    Set to music by Gerald Finzi (1901 - 1956), "Since we loved", op. 13b no. 7, published 1966 [ high voice and piano ], from Oh fair to see, no. 7
