Captain Ottley was a friend of Rev. Thomas Helmore (the "Master of the Children" at the Chapel Royal where Sullivan had been a chorister), and recommended Sullivan for the post of organist at St. Michael's, Chester Square, in 1861 at a salary of £80 a year. |

I heard the nightingale so sadly singing On a thorn above, Ah, I said, how thou art grieving, How thou art grieving! No! sigh'd she... I love! I love! Her the stock-dove now was joining, By sad notes the soul to move; Ah, I said, how thou art pining How thou art pining. No wail'd she, I love! I love! So it is with me; you see me rage and weep, And anguish prove. Ah! you say how much you suffer... No, indeed! I love! I love! Ah! you say how much you suffer... No, indeed! I love! I love! |
