Henry Purcell
Hark! how the songsters - (The History of Timon of Athens, The Man-Hater, Z. 632)
Hark! hark! hark! hark! how the songsters
Hark! how the songsters
How the songsters of the grove
Sing, sing anthems to the God of love
Hark hark, hark hark, hark hark
How each amorous winged pair
With love's great praises
With love's great praises fill the air
On every side, the charming sound
Does from the hollow woods
Does from the hollow woods
The charming sound
Does from the hollow, hollow
Hollow woods rebo...und
Does from the hollow hollow woods rebound
Rebound


[ Thomas Shadwell ]

Hark! hark! how the songsters of the grove;
Sing, Sing anthems to the God of love
Hark! hark! how each amorous winged pair
With love's great praises fill the Air;
On every side the charming sound
Does from the hollow woods rebound
