Ayres - Flow My Tears |
Flow, my tears, fall from your springs! |
Exiled for ever, let me mourn; |
Where night’s black bird her sad infamy sings, |
There let me live forlorn. |
Down vain lights, shine you no more! |
No nights are dark enough for those |
That in despair their lost fortunes deplore. |
Light doth but shame disclose. |
Never may my woes be relieved, |
Since pity is fled; |
And tears and sighs and groans my weary days |
Of all joys have deprived. |
From the highest spire of contentment |
My fortune is thrown; |
And fear and grief and pain for my deserts |
Are my hopes, since hope is gone. |
Hark! |
you shadows that in darkness dwell, |
Learn to contemn light |
Happy, happy they that in hell |
Feel not the world’s despite. |
