sighing softly to the river - pirates of penzance lyrics

Loading...

major-genral: sighing softly to the river,
comes the loving breeze;
setting nature all a quiver,
rustling thro’ the trees-
pirates & police: thro’ the trees.
major-genral: and the brook, with rippling measure
laughs for very love,
while the poplars, in their pleasure,
wave their arms above.
pirates & police: yes, the trees for very love,
wave their leafy arms above.

all: river, river, little river,
may thy loving prosper ever,
heaven speed thee poplar tree,
may thy wooing happy be,
heaven speed thee poplar tress,

may thy wooing happy be!

major-general: yet, the breeze is but a rover;
when he wings a way!
brook and poplar mourn a lover!
sighing, “well a day!”
pirates & police: “well a day!”
major-general: ah, the doing and undoing
that the rogue could tell;
when the breeze is out a wooing,
who can woo so well?

pirates & police: shocking tales the rogue could tell,
n-body can woo so well.

all: pretty brook, thy dream is over,
for thy love is but a rover;
sad the lot of poplar trees,
courted by a fickle breeze,
sad the lot of poplar trees,
courted by a fickle breeze!
