Take, o take those lips away

SATB a cappella

A setting of Shakespeare’s poem, expressing the yearning of unrequited love.

Lyrics:

Take, oh take those lips away,
That so sweetly were forsworn,
And those eyes: the breake of day,
Lights that do mislead the Morn;
But my kisses bring again, bring again,
Seals of love, but sealed in vain, sealed in vain.

William Shakespeare
