Song Dowland: In Darkness Let Me Dwell
Artist John Potter
Album In Darkness Let Me Dwell

Lyrics

Sorrow, stay!
Lend true repentant tears
To a woeful wretched wight.
Hence, despair with thy tormenting fears 0 do not my poor heart affright.
In darkness let me dwell, the ground shall sorrow be;
The roof despair to bar all cheerful light from me:
The walls of marble black that moistened still shall weep;
My music hellish jarring sounds to banish friendly sleep. (Thus wedded to my woes, and bedded to my tomb, Oh let me living, living die, till death do come)
