Dowland: From Silent Night |
From silent night, true register of moanes |
From saddest Soule consumde with deepest sinnes |
From hart quite rent with sighes and heavie groanes |
My wayling Muse her wofull worke beginnes. |
And to the world brings tunes of sad despaire |
Sounding nought else but sorrow, griefe and care. |
Sorrow to see my sorrowes cause augmented |
And yet lesse sorrowfull were my sorrowes more |
Griefe that my griefe with griefe is not prevented |
For griefe it is must east my grieved sore. |
Thus griefe and sorrow cares but how to grieve |
For griefe and sorrow must my cares relieve. |
If any eye therefore can spare a teare |
To fill the well-spring that must wet my cheekes |
O let that eye to this sad feast draw neere |
Refuse me not my humble soule beseekes |
For all the teares mine eyes have ever wept |
Were now too little had they all beene kept. |
