1. I come to the garden alone While the dew is still on the roses And the voice I hear falling on my ear A hidden truth discloses. Refrain: The trees await me there, and they talk with me, And they tell me I am their own; And the joy we share as we tarry there, Few others have ever known. 2. They speak, and the sound of their voice, Is so sweet the birds hush their singing, And the melody that they gave to me Within my heart is ringing. Refrain. 3. I’d stay in the garden with them Though the night around me be falling, But they bid me go; through the voice of woe Their voice to me is calling. Refrain.
