Last Line: AND THE GENTLE SOUNDING FLUTE
Subject(s): FLUTES;GARDENS & GARDENING;

My master hath a garden, full-filled with divers flowers,
Where thou mayst gather posies gay, all times and hours,
Here nought is heard
But paradise-bird,
Harp, dulcimer, and lute,
With cymbal,
And timbrel,
And the gentle sounding flute.

Oh! Jesus, Lord, my heal and weal, my bliss complete,
Make thou my heart thy garden-plot, true, fair and neat
That I may hear
This music clear,
Harp, dulcimer, and lute,
With cymbal,
And timbrel,
And the gentle sounding flute.
