Belle at the study by Newell Coe Stewart — Lyrics
Who comes knocking at my door?
“Let me in,” says Belle;
Ah! I've heard that voice before,
“Let me in,” says Belle.
“I will be so good and still;
Dear Papa, you know I will
Just a little corner fill,
Let me in,” says Belle.
So, I spoke the welcome word,
“Come in, little Belle,”
Then two tiny feet I heard,
“Here I come,” says Belle.

About Belle at the study
This charming SATB partsong paints a warm domestic scene of a father welcoming his daughter, Belle, into his study. The text expresses the joy and light her presence brings, transforming a gloomy room into a bright and sunny space. The music likely reflects this affectionate narrative, with the vocal parts weaving together to capture the sweetness of the moment. It is a secular piece, suitable for choirs looking for engaging English repertoire that celebrates simple family happiness.
