Bradford put Walt Whitman's Words from Leaves of Grass to music in this choral work. GIVE me The splendid silent sun, with all his beams full-dazzling; Give me juicy autumnal fruit, ripe and red from The orchard; Give me a field where The unmow'd grass grows; Give me an arbor, give me The trellis'd grape; Give me fresh corn and wheat—give me serene-moving animals, teaching content; Give me nights perfectly quiet, and I looking up at The stars; Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers, where I can walk undisturb'd; Give me for marriage a sweet-breath'd woman, of whom I should never tire; Give me a perfect child—give me, away, aside from The noise of The world, a rural, domestic life; Give me to warble spontaneous songs, reliev'd, recluse by myself, for my own ears only; Give me solitude—give me Nature—give me again, O Nature, your primal sanities!  less
