Composer’s Notes
I wrote this piece during my studies at the University of Houston for Ardore and Andrea Walker. I loved everything about this simple text, and I kept it on my mind while walking around the trees from my apartment to class. You can hear Ardore premiere it here!

Text
My heart is like a singing bird
Whose nest is in a water’d shoot;
My heart is like an apple-tree
Whose boughs are bent with thickset fruit;
My heart is like a rainbow shell
That paddles in a halcyon sea;
My heart is gladder than all these
Because my love is come to me.
Raise me a dais of silk and down;
Hang it with vair and purple dyes;
Carve it in doves and pomegranates,
And peacocks with a hundred eyes;
Work it in gold and silver grapes,
In leaves and silver fleurs-de-lys;
Because the birthday of my life
Is come, my love is come to me.
-Christina Rosetti (1830 – 1894)
