Mirth, admit me of thy crew, |
To live with her, and live with thee, |
In unreproved pleasures free; |
To hear the lark begin his flight, |
And singing startle the dull night; |
Then to come in spite of sorrow, |
And at my window bid good morrow. |
Mirth, admit me of thy crew! |
Opera Stanford |
Based on the poetry of John Milton
