Чарльз Хьюберт Гастингс Парри - To Diana - ноты, текст песни (слова)

Queen and Huntress, chaste and fair,
 Now the sun is laid to sleep,
 Seated on thy silver chair
 State in wonted manner keep:
 Hesperus entreats thy light Goddess,
 Goddess, excellently bright.
 
 Earth, let not thy envious shade
 Dare itself to interpose;
 Cynthia's shining Orb was made
 Heaven to clear when day did close:
 Bless us then with wished sight Goddess,
 Goddess, excellently bright.
 
 Lay thy bow of pearl apart
 And thy crystal shining quiver;
 Give unto the flying hart
 Space to breathe how short so ever.
 Thou that mak'st a day of night Goddess,
 Goddess, excellently bright.
