Description
This is an instrumental transcription (transposed) of C.H.H. Parry's anthem based on a poem by Sir John Davies.
It is the shortest of his "Songs of Farewell", but nevertheless effective.
The pdf file contains the score and parts.
The sound sample is an electronic preview.
I know my soul hath power to know all things,
Yet she is blind and ignorant in all:
I know I'm one of Nature's little kings,
Yet to the least and vilest things am thrall.
I know my life 's a pain and but a span;
I know my sense is mock'd in everything;
And, to conclude, I know myself a Man
Which is a proud and yet a wretched thing.
