SATB version performed by One Voice Mixed Chorus:
And I was filled with such delight
As prisoned birds must find in freedom,
Winging wildly across the white
Orchards and dark-green fields;
On, on, and out of sight.
Ev’ryone’s voice was suddenly lifted;
And beauty came like the setting sun:
My heart was shaken with tears; and horror
Drifted away…O, but Ev’ryone
Was a bird; and the song was wordless;
The singing will never be done.
