Say Over Again (2010)
Rachel Dawson, mezzosoprano, and Andrew Cashner, piano
Recorded live, University of Chicago, Chicago, Ill., September 2011
Say over again, and yet once over again,
That thou dost love me. Though the word repeated
Should seem ‘a cuckoo song’—as thou dost treat it,
Remember, never to the hill or plain,
Valley and wood, without her cuckoo-strain
Comes the fresh Spring in all her green completed.
Belovèd, I, amid the darkness greeted
By a doubtful spirit-voice, in that doubt’s pain,
Cry, ‘Speak once more—thou lovest!’ Who can fear
Too many stars, though each in heaven shall roll,
Too many flowers, though each shall crown the year?
Say thou dost love me, love me, love me—toll
The silver iterance!—only minding, Dear,
To love me also in silence with thy soul.
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning
