EspañolIN HAVEN
'In Haven (Capri)' is a poem by the British poet, Caroline Alice Elgar (1848 - 1920). The poem is probably best known by its musical setting as the second song (and shortest) of ''Sea Pictures'' composed by Edward Elgar (1857 - 1934), the poet's husband.
Elgar originally set the poem to music in 1897, publishing it separately under the title ''Love Alone Shall Stay'' (Lute Song) for voice
and piano in 1898. The verses were then in a different order and the words were slightly different from those that became incorporated into the song cycle.
Closely let me hold thy hand,
Storms are sweeping sea and land;
Love alone will stand.
Closely cling, for waves beat fast,
Foam-flakes cloud the hurrying blast;
Love alone will last.
Kiss my lips, and softly say:
Joy, sea-swept, may fade to-day;
Love alone will stay.
As well as the recordings listed in the ''Sea Pictures'' article, ''In Haven'' has been recorded by Robert Meadmore.[1]

Libretto as in ''Sea Pictures''
Closely let me hold thy hand,
Storms are sweeping sea and land;
Love alone will stand.
Closely cling, for waves beat fast,
Foam-flakes cloud the hurrying blast;
Love alone will last.
Kiss my lips, and softly say:
Joy, sea-swept, may fade to-day;
Love alone will stay.
