Subject: RE: Fifty-Two Folk Songs
All Things are Quite Silent is a very similar song to the Lowlands of Holland with a young man being press ganged away from his marriage bed. I have a superb version by Jo Freya which has a lovely counter melody played on recorder. Worth tracking down. If you're interested, I can give you the details of the CD (which is excellent overall)

The words are in the digital tradition and were sourced from the Penguin Book of English Folk Song.

Away to consult mine for the dots.
