Blow breezes o’er the flow’ry lea by George J. Bennett — Lyrics
Blow breezes o’er the flowery lea,
The whispers of my heart;
There wild thyme to the honey bee
Its sweet soul doth impart.
O wind of love! catch on thy wing
The light that floods the sky;
When day is setting to her bring
My love’s soft lullaby.

About Blow breezes o’er the flow’ry lea
This charming SATB setting of an English text evokes the gentle breezes of a spring or summer day. The words paint a picture of nature’s abundance and the quiet intimacy of a lover’s thoughts, before transitioning to a tender lullaby intended to watch over and guide a loved one through the night. George J. Bennett’s setting, suitable for a general concert programme, captures the pastoral and affectionate sentiments of the lyrics, offering a moment of serene beauty for choir and audience alike. The flowing melody and rich harmonies create an idyllic atmosphere, perfectly suited to the natural imagery presented in the text.
