The Little Green Orchard Lyrics by Cecil Armstrong Gibbs

Three Songs, Op. 15

0

Some one is always sitting there
In the little green orchard;
Even when the sun is high
In noon's unclouded sky
And faintly droning goes
The bee from rose to rose
Some one in shadow is sitting there
In the little green orchard
Yes, when the twilight's falling softly
In the little green orchard;
When the grey dew distills
And every flower-cup fills;
When the last blackbird says
'What - what!' and goes her way - ssh!
I have heard voices calling softly
In the little green orchard
Not that I am afraid of being thеre
In the little green orchard;
Why, whеn the moon's been bright
Shedding her lonesome light
And moths like ghosties come
And the horned snail leaves home:
I've sat there, whispering and listening there
In the little green orchard
Only it's strange to be feeling there
In the little green orchard;
Whether you paint or draw
Dig, hammer, chop or saw;
When you are most alone
All but the silence gone
Some one is watching and waiting there
In the little green orchard
