English text
- When Mary thro' the garden went,
- There was no sound of any bird,
- And yet, because the night was spent,
- The little grasses lightly stirred,
- The flowers awoke, the lilies heard.
- When Mary thro' the garden went,
- The dew lay still on flower and grass,
- The waving palms above her sent
- Their fragrance out as she did pass.
- No light upon their branches was.
- When Mary thro' the garden went,
- Her eyes were dim.
- The grass beneath her footsteps bent,
- The solemn lilies, white and slim,
- These also stood and wept for him.
- When Mary thro' the garden went,
- She sought within the garden ground,
- One for Whom her heart was rent,
- One Who for her sake was bound,
- One Who sought, and she as found.
