WORDS:
Flow my tears
fall from your springs.
Exiled, forever,
let me mourn
when night's blackbird
her sad infamy sings.
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 eyes, my weary weary days;
tears and sighs and groans
of all joys have deprived me
from the highest spires of contentment.
My fortune is thrown,
and fears and grief and pain
for my desserts,
are my hopes,
since hope is gone.
Hark you shadows that in darkness dwell:
learn to condemn light!
Happy they that in hell
feel not the world's despite.
