My Heart is like a Singing Bird (English lyrics, tenth set): music by C. Hubert H. Parry, text by Christina Rossetti.
Filmed by Steve Pycroft at 49 Great Ormond Street on 6 August 2015

Such a beautiful and intimate yet energetic performance!
My heart is like a singing bird
Whose nest is in a watered shoot;
My heart is like an apple tree
Whose boughs are bent with thickset fruit;
My heart is like a rainbow shell
That paddles in a purple sea;
My heart is gladder than all these
Because my love is come to me.
Raise me a dais of purple and gold;
Hang it with vair and purple dyes;
Carve it in doves and pomegranates,
And peacocks with a hundred eyes;
Work it in gold and silver grapes,
In leaves and silver fleur-de-lys;
Because the birthday of my life
Is come, my love, is come to me.
Lovely performance. And the piano (recently reconditioned) sounds great.
Stunning
Charming Performance.
