Toyohiko Satoh - If music and sweet poetry agree lyrics
Artist: Toyohiko Satoh
album: Yugen
If music, if music and sweet poetry agree
If music, if music and sweet poetry agree
As they must needs, the sister and the brother
Then must the love be great 'twixt thee and me
Because thou lov'st the one, and I the other
Dowland to thee is dear, whose heavenly touch
Upon the lute doth ravish human sense
♪
Spenser to me, whose deep conceit is such
As, passing all conceit, needs no defence
Spenser to me, whose deep conceit is such
As, passing all conceit, needs no defence
Thou lov'st to hear the sweet melodious sound
That Phoebus' lute, the queen of music makes
♪
And I in deep delight am chiefly drown'd
Whenas himself to singing he betakes
One god is god of both, as poets feign
One knight loves both, and both in thee remain
One god is god of both, as poets feign
One knight loves both, and both in thee remain
If music, if music and sweet poetry agree
As they must needs, the sister and the brother
Then must the love be great 'twixt thee and me
Because thou lov'st the one, and I the other
Dowland to thee is dear, whose heavenly touch
Upon the lute doth ravish human sense
♪
Spenser to me, whose deep conceit is such
As, passing all conceit, needs no defence
Spenser to me, whose deep conceit is such
As, passing all conceit, needs no defence
Thou lov'st to hear the sweet melodious sound
That Phoebus' lute, the queen of music makes
♪
And I in deep delight am chiefly drown'd
Whenas himself to singing he betakes
One god is god of both, as poets feign
One knight loves both, and both in thee remain
One god is god of both, as poets feign
One knight loves both, and both in thee remain
