Fun Fact:
1) The lyrics of this song are taken from a poem by Percy Shelley of the same title.

Note: Be careful not to break Quilter?s monosyllabic setting of the words ?heav?n? and ?forgiv?n? into two syllables.  In ?the winds of Heav?n,? the ?v?n? should come as late as possible, with no vowel at all between the ?v? and the ?n? (or at most an extremely 
short schwa)--almost as if the next word were ?vnmix.?  In ?kiss high Heav?n? and ?would be forgiv?n,? it helps to imagine you are singing ?Heh-ehvn? and ?forgih-ihvn,? with the underlined syllables falling on the second beat of the measure, so that you are landing on a vowel instead of a consonant.

This piece loses much of its effectiveness if it is sung in too low a key (note that singing it any lower than C Major will necessitate omitting the first of the low left-hand octaves in the pianist?s postlude).
