I seek for Thee in every Flower by William McKendrick — Lyrics
I seek for thee in every flower
The tawny wild bee knows,
In meadow lone or forest bower
Or where the river flows;
In all a thought of thee I find,
In all thy beauty trace:
Some image of thy gentle mind,
Some vision of thy face.

About I seek for Thee in every Flower
This gentle English partsong by William McKendrick is perfect for a spring or summer concert, evoking the natural world in full bloom. The SATB choir will find themselves immersed in the imagery of meadows, forests, and rivers as they explore the text. The composer uses these natural elements as a metaphor for seeking and finding the object of affection, mirroring the bee gathering nectar. The words express a deep connection to nature, seeing beauty and finding solace in every flower, stream, and woodland grove. It is a thoughtful exploration of love and devotion, presented through the lens of the abundant natural world.
