lyrics

Flow, my tears, fall from your springs
Exiled, for ever, let me mourn
Where nights black bird her sad infamy sings
There let me live, forlorn

[chorus:]
Hark, you shadows, that in darkness dwell
Learn to contemn light
Happy, happy, they that in hell
Feel not the world's despite

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

[chorus]

Never may my woes be relieved
Since pity is fled
And tears, and sighs, and groans
My weary days (my weary days)
Of all joys have deprived

[chorus]

From the highest spire of contentment
My fortune is thrown
And fear, and grief, and pain
For my deserts (for my deserts)
Are my hopes, since hope is gone

[chorus]
