Sweeter than roses
Sweeter than roses, or cool evening breezeOn a warm flowery shore, was the dear kiss,First trembling made me freeze,Then shot like fire all o’er.What magic has victorious love!For all I touch or see since that dear kiss,I hourly prove, all is love to me.
Composer
Henry Purcell (c. 10 September 1659 – 21 November 1695) was an English composer. It is said that he began composing at nine years old. As an adult, he became organist at Westminster Abbey, and later the Chapel Royal.
