Soprano or Tenor |
No more short life they then will spend |
In straying farther from its end, |
In frantic mirth, and childish play, |
In dance and revels, night and day; |
Or else like lifeless statues seeming, |
Ever musing, moping, dreaming. |
Opera Stanford |
Based on the poetry of John Milton
