  • This Little Rose

    Nobody knows this little Rose --
    It might a pilgrim be
    Did I not take it from the ways
    And lift it up to thee.
    Only a Bee will miss it --
    Only a Butterfly,
    Hastening from far journey --
    On its breast to lie --
    Only a Bird will wonder --
    Only a Breeze will sigh --
    Ah Little Rose -- how easy
    For such as thee to die!

    --Emily Dickenson
    --Composer, William Roy

  • Ideale, P. Tosti

    Bocelli & Bjorling: Wondrous!

    "Ideale"

    Language: Italian

    Io ti seguii come iride di pace
    Lungo le vie del cielo:
    Io ti seguii come un'amica face
    De la notte nel velo.
    E ti sentii ne la luce, ne l'aria,
    Nel profumo dei fiori;
    E fu piena la stanza solitaria
    Di te, dei tuoi splendori.

    In te rapito, al suon de la tua voce,
    Lungamente sognai;
    E de la terra ogni affanno, ogni croce,
    In quel [sogno]1 scordai.
    Torna, caro ideal, torna un istante
    A sorridermi ancora,
    E a me risplenderà, nel tuo sembiante,
    Una novella aurora.

    "Ideal"

    Language: English

    I followed you like a rainbow of peace
    along the paths of heaven;
    I followed you like a friendly torch
    in the veil of darkness,
    and I sensed you in the light, in the air,
    in the perfume of flowers,
    and the solitary room was full
    of you and of your radiance.

    Absorbed by you, I dreamed a long time
    of the sound of your voice,
    and earth's every anxiety, every torment
    I forgot in that dream.
    Come back, dear ideal, for an instant
    to smile at me again,
    and in your face will shine for me
    a new dawn.
