What need you flow so fast? Look haw the snowy mountains Heaven's sun doth gently waste But my sun's heavenly eyes View not your weeping That now lies sleeping Softly, softly, now softly Softly lies sleeping
Sleep is a reconciling Rest that peace begets Doth not the sun rise smiling When fair at ev'n he sets?
Rest you then, rest, sad eyes Melt not in weeping While she lies sleeping Softly, softly, now softly Softly lies sleeping
