All Things Are Quite Silent - Bella Hardy

Lyrics by：Bella Hardy

Composed by：Bella Hardy

All things are quite silent each mortal at rest

When me and my true love lay snug in one nest

When a band of bold ruffians broke into our cave

And they forced my dear jewel to plough the salt way

I begged hard for my darling as I would for my life

But they would not heed me although a fond wife

Saying "the King must have soldiers to the wars he must go"

And they've left me lamenting in sorrow and woe

Through green fields and meadows we often have walked

And of fond recollections together have talked

Where the lark and the blackbird so sweetly do sing

And the lovely thrushes voices made the valleys to ring

Now although I'm forsaken I won't be cast down

Who knows but my true love some day might return

And he'll make me amends for my trouble and strife

And me and my darling might be happy for life

All things are quite silent each mortal at rest
