Music and Sound Samples
The opera culminates with the four songs of the Nightingale, settings of the four sonnets by Christina Rossetti (1830–1894):
-
- 1. Remember me, when I am gone away… read the poem (see the music example below)
- 2. Sleep, unforgotten sorrow, sleep awhile…
- 3. So tired am I, so weary of to-day…
- 4. Time flies, hope flags, life piles a wearied wing… see the Sonnet No.10

Fall forward rather on to whatever there is there.” “Good government cannot be found on the bargain-counter. We have seen samples of bargain-counter government in the past when low tax rates were secured by increasing the bonded debt for current expenses or refusing to keep our institutions up to the standard in repairs, extensions, equipment, and accommodations. I refuse, and the Republican Party refuses, to endorse that method of sham and shoddy economy.” |
