Hie away by Alfred Plumpton — Lyrics
Hie away, hie away,
Over bank and over brae,
Where the copsewood is the greenest,
Where the fountains glisten sheenest,
Where the ladyfern grows strongest,
Where the morning dew lies longest,

About Hie away
Imagine a warm spring or summer day, perhaps a picnic or outdoor gathering, as this delightful English partsong unfolds. Alfred Plumpton captures the spirit of excursion and escape with a joyful text inviting listeners to 'hie away' to a secluded, verdant natural setting. The words paint a vivid picture of a pristine woodland, a place of 'lovely, lonesome, cool, and green' havens, where nature is at its most vibrant and untouched. Sung by a SATB choir, Hie away offers a charming musical experience, perfect for adding a touch of lighthearted pastoral charm to a concert programme. Its straightforward structure and engaging melody make it an accessible and rewarding choice for both singers and audiences alike.
