Flow my tears, fall from your springs, Exiled for ever, let me mourn.
Flow my tears, fall from your springs, Exiled for ever, let me mourn Where night's black bird her sad infamy sings, There let me live forever.
(Light doth but shame disclose)
Hark you shadows that in darkness dwell!
Down vain lights, shine you no more, No nights are dark enough for those That in despair their lost fortunes deplore; There let me live forever.
(Light doth but shame disclose)
Hark you shadows that in darkness dwell, Hark you shadows that in darkness dwell, Learn to contemn light; Happy, they that in hell Feel not the world's despite.
