Tolomeo, HWV 25: Silent Worship (Arr. Arthur Somervell)
Did you not hear my lady go down the garden singing?
Black bird and thrush were silent to hear the alleys ringing
Oh, saw you are not my lady out in the garden, there
Shaming the rose and lily
For she is twice as fair
Though I am nothing to her
Though she must rarely look at me
And though I could never woo her
I love her 'til I die
Surely, you've heard my lady go down the garden singing
Silencing all the song birds
And setting the alleys ringing
But surely, you've seen my lady out in the garden, there
Rivaling the glittering sunshine with a glory of golden hair
Black bird and thrush were silent to hear the alleys ringing
Oh, saw you are not my lady out in the garden, there
Shaming the rose and lily
For she is twice as fair
Though I am nothing to her
Though she must rarely look at me
And though I could never woo her
I love her 'til I die
Surely, you've heard my lady go down the garden singing
Silencing all the song birds
And setting the alleys ringing
But surely, you've seen my lady out in the garden, there
Rivaling the glittering sunshine with a glory of golden hair
