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