The Creation (Die Schöpfung) - Text Adjustment: Paul McCreesh / Part 2 / The Fifth Day: On Mighty Pens Uplifted Soars The Eagle

On mighty pens uplifted soars the eagle aloft, the eagle aloft
And cleaves the sky in swiftest flight, in swiftest flight to the blazing sun
To the blazing sun

The merry lark bids welcome to the morn
The merry lark bids welcome to the morn
And cooing
And cooing
Calls the tender dove his mate
Calls the tender dove his mate
And cooing, and cooing
Calls the tender dove his mate
Calls the tender dove his mate
On mighty pens uplifted soars the eagle aloft
The merry lark bids welcome to the morn
And cooing
And cooing
Calls the tender dove his mate
Calls the tender dove his mate
And cooing, and cooing
Calls the tender dove his mate
Calls the tender dove his mate
The tender dove his mate

From every bush and grove
Resound the nightingale's delightful liquid notes

No grief affected yet her breast
Nor to a mournful tale were tun'd
Her soft
Her soft enchanting lays
Her soft enchanting
Her soft enchanting lays
No grief affected yet her breast
Nor to a mournful tale were tun'd
Her soft
Her soft enchanting lays
Her soft enchanting lays
Her soft enchanting lays
Her soft enchanting lays
Her soft enchanting lays
