Create da capo aria lyrics for a Handel-esque baroque art song, 102 BPM andante gigue rhythm, D major with fleeting minor modulations, ornamented coloratura soprano (with trill-filled cadenza in the B section), core instrumentation: baroque string orchestra, spinet (substituted for harpsichord), viola da gamba, baroque oboe, paired trumpets. Thematically centered on a 17th-century Venetian gardener’s awe at the first bloom of a rare winter jasmine in her convent courtyard, imagery includes frosted stone planters, gilded monastery window light, honeybees stirring unseasonably. Tone blends tender, reverent wonder with bursts of ecstatic devotion, lean into florid, formal 17th-century devotional poetic diction matching Emma Kirkby’s clear, reverent delivery style.

[Intro] [Chorus] Behold the golden star, Through winter's cold and grey, It shines from afar, And turns the night to day. The sacred petals gleam, To break the frozen hour, Like a celestial dream, Upon this winter flower. [Verse] Upon the frosted stone, The silver shadows fall. The seed was sown alone, By the high wall. A sudden gilded ray, Does touch the cloister pane, To chase the frost away, And break the winter's reign. [Pre-Chorus] My hands have tilled the clay, Through the dark day. But heaven sends this grace, To light this holy place. [Chorus] Behold the golden star, Through winter's cold and grey, It shines from afar, And turns the night to day. The sacred petals gleam, To break the frozen hour, Like a celestial dream, Upon this winter flower. [Bridge] The drowsy bees awake, Their silent hives forsake. They fly on golden wings, To where the jasmine springs. Ah, hear the spirit rise, With joyful, trilling sighs. My soul doth loudly sing, To praise the eternal King. [Chorus] Behold the golden star, Through winter's cold and grey, It shines from afar, And turns the night to day. The sacred petals gleam, To break the frozen hour, Like a celestial dream, Upon this winter flower. [Outro]
