Choral Choir (SATB divisi) - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1256872 Composed by Nicholas White. 21st Century,A Cappella,Classical,Traditional. Octavo. 12 pages. Nicholas White Music #850259. Published by Nicholas White Music (A0.1256872). A challenging, unaccompanied, pastoral setting of Thomas Hardy's poem, scored for SATB divisi featuring a high soprano!Regret not me;   Beneath the sunny treeI lie uncaring slumbering peacefully.    Swift as the light   I flew my faery flight;Ecstatically I moved, and feared no night.    I did not know   That heydays fade and go,But deemed that what was would be always so.    I skipped at morn   Between the yellowing corn,Thinking it good and glorious to be born.    I ran at eves   Among the piled-up sheaves,Dreaming, 'I grieve not, therefore nothing grieves.'    Now soon will come   The apple, pear, and plumAnd hinds will sing, and autumn insects hum.    Again you will fare   To cider-makings rare,And junketings; but I shall not be there.    Yet gaily sing   Until the pewter ringThose songs we sang when we went gipsying.    And lightly dance   Some triple-timed romanceIn coupled figures, and forget mischance;    And mourn not me   Beneath the yellowing tree;For I shall mind not, slumbering peacefully.
