Anonymous Poem

I found this poem and thought it would be a good piece for one of my choral directors students to sing at competition. For a baritone w/ piano accompaniment. Its not finished.

I also put the arrangement of happy birthday in there for my Granny's birthday. go look at them. Feedback would be appreciated.

Finale 2009 - [Happy Birthday ).pdf

oh yeah here's the poem: Anonymous

Go now my love, goodbye now,

I know you’ve stayed too long, for

The morning bell has rung, and

It seems to me it’s day.

Go now my love, goodbye now,

So they will not find you

In such sweet concealment

As this place where we lie.

Kiss me now, my sweetheart,

Make it a swift parting,

Look to your returning,

With lovers’ loyalty,

So through constant trials

Our love may be new love

And we’ll never meet with

Wicked jealousy.

Go now, my love, goodbye now,

Go now from me swiftly,

All your things are ready,

I’ve arranged them so.

Hm. Seems the lyric is based on Act III, Scene 5 of Romeo and Juliet.
