| composer/group: | ?handel | | category: | Classical | | lyrics or other text: | Did you hear my lady
Go down the garden singing
Blackbird and thrush were silent
To hear the alleys ringing
Who saw you not my ladyOut in the garden thereShaming the rose and lilyFor 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'll love her till I die
Surely you heard my ladyGo down the garden singingSilencing all the song birdsAnd setting the alleys ringing
But surely you see my ladyOut in the garden fairRiv'ling the glitt'ring sunshineWith glory of golden hair

| composer/group: | Handel, arr by Arthur Somervell | | title: | Silent Worship (Non lo dirò col labbro) | | lyrics or other text: | Did you not hear 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.
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.
