Emma singt

Silent Worship Die italienische Version stammte Original aus einer Oper von Handel. In Emmas Version wurde allerdings um 1928 von Arthur Somervell bearbeitet. Also ist das nicht die richtige Musik die Emma singt. Trotzdem hören wir mal rein wie es ungefähr klingen mochte:

 

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 the glory of golden hair.
