Silent Worship 1939 Choral

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 02 Jul 2004

Did you not see my lady,
Go down the garden singing?
Blackbird and thrush were silent,
To hear the alleys ringing.
O saw you not my lady,
Out in the garden there?
Shaming the rose and lily,
For she is twice as fair.
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 till I die.

Surely you heard my lady,
Go down the garden singing,
Silencing all the songbirds:
And setting the alleys ringing,
But surely you see my lady,
Out in the garden there.
Riv'ling the glitt'ring sunshine,
With a glory of golden hair,
A glory of golden hair.

Memorable song for me because I must have sung it
at least three times in public - on stage as it were
in the sixties..... :-)
