A Burnt Ship

2018
Text by John Donne. Soprano and piano
8 min.
Written for the 2018 soundSCAPE Composition and Performance Exchange

Text:

Out of a fired ship, which, by no way

But drowning, could be rescued from the flame,

Some men leaped forth, and ever as they came

Near the foe’s ships, did by their shot decay;

So all were lost, which in the ship were found,

      They in the sea being burnt, they in the burnt ship drowned.

John Donne
