Song language: English
All Things Are Quite Silent |
| All things are quite silent, each mortal at rest |
| When me and my true love got snug in one nest |
| When a bold set of ruffians broke into our cave |
| And they forced my dear jewel to plough the salt wave |
| I begged hard for my darling as I would for my life |
| They’d not listen to me although a fond wife |
| Saying: «The king must have sailors, to the seas he must go,» |
| And they’ve left me lamenting in sorrow and woe |
| Through green fields and meadows we ofttimes have walked |
| And the fond recollections together have talked |
| Where the lark and the blackbird so sweetly did sing |
| And the lovely thrushes' voices made the valleys to ring |
| Now although I’m forsaken I won’t be be cast down |
| Who knows but my true love some day may return? |
| And will make me amends For all trouble and strife |
| And me and my true love might live happy for life |
