Handel: Did You Not Hear My Lady - Aled Jones, Георг Фридрих Гендель

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

Rivalling the glittering sunshine

With a glory of golden hair
