Good morrow to my love by Morris Marks — Lyrics
Pack clouds away, and welcome day,
With night we banish sorrow;
Sweet air, blow soft; mount, lark, aloft,
To give my love good morrow.
Wings from the wind to please her mind,
Notes from the lark I ’ll borrow:
Bird, prune thy wing; nightingale, sing,
To give my love good morrow.
To give my love good morrow,
Notes from them all I ’ll borrow.

About Good morrow to my love
Perfect for spring concerts or a light-hearted moment in a concert programme, this is a secular English setting of a poem wishing a lover a good morning. The text itself is an apostrophe to nature, urging birds and the wind to carry a joyful greeting to the beloved. Morris Marks sets this effervescent text for SATB choir, creating a vibrant and celebratory mood. The music likely mirrors the text's cheerful imagery and its call to awaken and embrace the day, making it an engaging choice for both singers and audience.
