I love my love in the morning by Bernard Johnson — Lyrics
I love my love in the morning,
For she like morn is fair—
Her blushing cheek,
Its crimson streak,
Its clouds her golden hair.
Her glance, its beam, so soft and kind;
Her tears, its dewy showers;
And her voice, the tender whispering wind
That stirs the early bowers.
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:

About I love my love in the morning
This tender English partsong celebrates enduring love across the hours of the day. The text paints a vivid picture of the beloved, comparing her beauty and grace to the morning, noon, and evening light, and even the gentle breeze. The composer Bernard Johnson sets this evocative poetry for SATB choir, allowing the harmonies to swell and embrace the lyrical sentiment. The music captures the gentle devotion expressed in the words, from the brightness of midday to the soft glow of sunset, creating a heartfelt musical tribute to a constant and cherished love.
