Now Sleeps The Crimson Petal (Paul Mealor) - Sofia Vokalensemble

Sofia Vokalensemble performing ”Now Sleeps The Crimson Petal" by Paul Mealor at a concert in Stockholm, Sweden on December 9th 2018.
Lyrics:
Now sleeps the crimson petal, now the white;
Nor waves the cypress in the palace walk;
The firefly wakens, waken thou with me.
Now droops the milk-white peacock like a ghost,
And like a ghost she glimmers on to me.
Now lies the Earth all Danaë to the stars,
And all thy heart lies open unto me.
Now folds the lily all her sweetness up,
And slips into the bosom of the lake.
So fold thyself, my dearest, thou, and slip
Into my bosom and be lost in me.
Now sleeps the crimson petal, now the white.
