CoverOh Earth [level: Medium]
Evan Hammell: Bio and other works
voicing: SATB | catalog number: SBMP 1515 | price: $2.15
accompaniment: a cappella


Oh earth, oh dewy mother, breathe on us
Something of all thy beauty and thy might,”
So begins this dramatic musical tribute to earth. Audiences will love this piece.
A programming idea: open AND close with this, letting it come around again.

Oh earth, oh dewy mother, breathe on us
Something of all thy beauty and thy might,
Us that are part of day, but most of night,
Not strong like thee, but ever burdened thus
With glooms and cares, things pale dolorous
Whose gladest moments are not wholly bright;
Something of all thy freshness and thy light,
Oh earth, oh mighty mother, breathe on us.

Oh mother, who wast long before our day,
And after us full many an age shalt be.
Careworn and blind, we wander from thy way:
Born of thy strength, yet weak and halt are we
Grant us, oh mother, therefore, us who pray,
Some little of thy light and majesty.

By Archibald Lampman (1861-1899)
