Judge not according to the appearance
 (Sung text for setting by D. Zannoni)
 Matches base text
Language: English 
Lord, purge our eyes to see
Within the seed a tree,
Within the glowing egg a bird,
Within the shroud a butterfly

Till taught by such, we see
Beyond all creatures Thee,
And hearken for thy tender word,
And hear it, “Fear not: it is I.”

Composition:

    Set to music by Davide Zannoni , "Judge not according to the appearance", 2006, first performed 2006 [ soprano or tenor and vibraphone ], from Three Rossetti Songs, no. 2
