Lyrics

[00:00.00] What then is love but mourning?
[00:06.77] What desire but a self-burning?
[00:12.89] Till she that hates doth love return
[00:19.04] Thus I will mourn, thus will I sing,
[00:24.46] Come away, come away, my darling.
[00:30.51] Thus I will mourn, thus will I sing,
[00:36.01] Come away, come away, my darling.
[00:43.02] Beauty is but a blooming,
[00:49.58] Youth in his glory entombing;
[00:56.53] Time hath a while which none can stay,
[01:03.28] So come away while I thus sing,
[01:09.48] Come away, come away, my darling.
[01:14.93] So come away while I thus sing,
[01:20.75] Come away, come away, my darling.
[01:28.56] Summer in winter fadeth,
[01:35.32] Gloomy night heav'nly light shadeth,
[01:42.62] Like to the morn are Venus' flowers,
[01:49.14] Such are her hours, then will I sing,
[01:55.20] Come away, come away, my darling.
[02:01.21] Such are her hours, then will I sing,
[02:07.27] Come away, come away, my darling.
