[@lindaedwards3527]

The song of my longing for what was. I learn this in school on my fourteenth year and now in my eighties o can pull it up on UA-cam to enjoy again. How eonderful

I love it. True beauty! And it's not even computer-generated and not auto-tuned.

John Rutter is a gift to this world. I need him to compose a Bambi-style choral Disney soundtrack, it would make them a billion dollar movie.....

Flow gently, sweet Afton, among thy green braes,
Flow gently, I'll sing thee a song in thy praise;
My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream,
Flow gently, sweet Afton, disturb not her dream.
How lofty, sweet Afton, thy neighbouring hills,
Far mark'd with the courses of clear winding rills;
There daily I wander as noon rises high,
My flocks and my Mary's sweet cot in my eye.
How pleasant thy banks and green valleys below,
Where wild in the woodlands the primroses blow;
There oft, as mild Ev'ning creeps over the lea,
The sweet-scented birk shades my Mary and me.
Flow gently, sweet Afton, among thy green braes,
Flow gently, sweet river, the theme of my lays;
My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream,
Flow gently, sweet Afton, disturb not her dream.
