Ah, what a pleasant end for me, if your dear hands be the last I see, closing shut my faithful eyes to rest!” • Rest and death are important words
Musical analysis • for medium voice in a major key • Occasional accidentals • It’s a not a sad part of melody even though it is dying with the Peron you love
