Lyrics: Edmund Waller

While I listen to thy voice, Chloris,
I feel my life decay. That pow'rful noise
Calls my fleeting soul away.
Oh, suppress that magic sound
Which destroys without a wound.
Peace, Chloris, peace, or singing die,
That together you and I
To heav'n may go. For all we know
Of what the blessed do above
Is that they sing and love.
