I love my love in the morning by George Benjamin Allen — Lyrics
I love my love in the morning,
For she like morn is fair,
Her blushing cheek, Its crimson streak,
It clouds her golden hair;
Her glance, its beams so soft and kind,
Her tears, its dewy showers,
And her voice the tender whispering wind,
That stirs the early bowers.
Oh! I love my love in the morning,
For she like morn is fair.
I love my love in the morning,
I love my love at noon,
For she is bright as the Lord of light,
Yet mild as Autumn's moon.
Her beauty is my bosom's sun,

About I love my love in the morning
This charming SATB setting of an English text by George Benjamin Allen opens with a gentle, lilting melody passed between the voices. The music gracefully follows the poem's affectionate celebration of a loved one, comparing their beauty and character to the changing light of day, from the freshness of morning to the mellow radiance of noon. The composer captures the tender imagery of the lyrics, with moments of warmth and heartfelt expression. The part-song structure allows for a rich yet accessible texture, creating an intimate and lyrical atmosphere that perfectly complements the romantic sentiments of the text.
