Come, my dear one, share my gladness by John Varley Roberts — Lyrics
Come, my dear one, share my gladness,
Let my love dispel thy sadness,
Into night away;
Waiting by thy lattice sighing,
While the silver moon is dying,
Here, I sing my lay.

About Come, my dear one, share my gladness
Imagine a lover serenading their beloved on a moonlit night. This partsong for ATTB voices captures that intimate scene. The English text speaks of dispelling sadness and sharing joy, painting a picture of love's power to transform darkness into light. It’s a perfect choice for a moment of gentle reflection or a romantic interlude in a concert program. The composer uses the four-part texture to create a rich, harmonious sound that supports the tender sentiments of the lyrics, making it an appealing addition for choirs looking for expressive secular repertoire.
