- Silent Worship
- Did you not hear My Lady
- Go down the garden singing
- Blackbird and thrush were silent
- To hear the alleys ringing...
- Oh saw you 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 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
- Rivaling the glittering sunshine
- With a glory of golden hair.
