Early one morning, Just as the sun was rising, I heard a young maid sing, In the valley below. Oh, don't deceive me, Oh, never leave me, How could you use A poor maiden so? Remember the vows, That you made to your Mary, Remember the bow'r, Where you vowed to be true, Oh Gay is the garland, And fresh are the roses, I've culled from the garden, To place upon thy brow. Thus sang the poor maiden, Her sorrows bewailing, Thus sang the poor maid, In the valley below.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne

Early One Morning (The Choir of New College, Oxford)
Early one morning, Just as the sun was rising, I heard a young maid sing, In the valley below. Oh, don't deceive me, Oh, never leave me, How could you use A poor maiden so? Remember the vows, That you made to your Mary, Remember the bow'r, Where you vowed to be true, Oh Gay is the garland, And fresh are the roses, I've culled from the garden, To place upon thy brow. Thus sang the poor maiden, Her sorrows bewailing, Thus sang the poor maid, In the valley below.
