Instrumental arrangement of my song A latter-day Ronsard which is effectively a modern sonnet to a young lady, exhorting her to make the most of her youth (gather ye rosebuds while ye may). The pdf file contains the score and parts. The audio sample is an electronic preview The words of the original song (also available on this site) are: If you but think, Think on and on My little one. If you but think It will go on ... Going for ever, This time of love This time for lovers, You’re for a fall, My little girl, You’re for a fall If you maintain You will retain Fine blushing skin And waist cinched in Delicate arms Fine varnished nails Tender of thigh And fleet of foot, And if you think my sweet It will be true Going for you You're for a fall My little girl, You're for a fall. Gone the good days, Pleasure and holidays. Planets in orbit Circle around But you my sweet You will go straight Toward the unknown And overblown with sagging skin and treble chin Heavy with fat and flesh that's slack Come gather ye roses Look ye around, My little one Blossoms abound Let them repose On the slack tide Of every happiness. So, gather them all Or you'll be sure Pride comes before a fall.
