Ye gentle spirits of the air, appear!, Act III - (The Fairy Queen, Z. 629)
Ye ge...entle spirits of the air
Ye ge...entle spirits of the air
Appear appear, appear appear
Prepare, prepa...are, prepare, prepare
And join your tender voices here
Appear appear, appear appear
Prepare, prepare, prepare
And join your tender voices here
Catch, catch and repeat
Repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat
The tre...embling sounds, repeat
Repeat the tre...embling sounds a new
Soft, soft, soft as her sighs
And swee...eet as pearly dew
And swee...eet as pearly dew
Run, run new divisions
Run new divisions
And such measure keep
As when you lull
You lull the God of Love asleep
As when you lull
You lull the God of Love asleep
Ye ge...entle spirits of the air
Ye ge...entle spirits of the air
Appear appear, appear appear
Prepare, prepa...are, prepare, prepare
And join your tender voices here
Appear appear, appear appear
Prepare, prepare, prepare
And join your tender voices here
[ William Shakespeare ]

Ye gentle spirits of the air appear;
Prepare and join your tender voices here
Catch and repeat the trembling sounds a new
Soft as her sighs and sweet as pearly dew
Run new divisions, and such measure keep
As when you lull the God of Love asleep
