Synopsis
Excerpt from A Posy of Folk Songs
In the Garden
(An Old French Song)
In a gay garden filled with flowers
All days and hours,
God formed man in His likeness,
And gave him here
Of love, wherewith his days to bless,
A pledge most dear.
Adam lay down in the sweet shade
A lime tree made,
Alone he lay on the green grass
In quiet deep,
When suddenly it came to pass
He fell on sleep.
There while he slept that Sovereign King
The Angels sing,
Took a rib gently with all care,
From out his side,
And formed a flower, a woman fair,
To be his bride.
Adam awoke in pride and joy,
Without alloy,
"Behold her there, bone of my bone,
O God above,
Give her to me, no more alone,
She whom I love."
