about

This is a recording of a truly wonderful (in my opinion) score for full choir by New York-based composer Matthew Harris. You can find out more about Matthew's music by visiting here: matthewharrismusic.com

lyrics

O mistress mine, where are you roaming?
O stay and hear! your true-love’s coming
      That can sing both high and low;
Trip no further, pretty sweeting,
Journeys end in lovers’ meeting—
      Every wise man’s son doth know.

What is love? ’tis not hereafter;
Present mirth hath present laughter;
      What’s to come is still unsure:
In delay there lies no plenty,—
Then come kiss me, Sweet-and-twenty,
      Youth’s a stuff will not endure.
