benjamin britten – iii: “oh might those sighes and teares return againe” lyrics
Loading...
o might those sighs and tears return again
into my breast and eyes, which i have spent
that i might in this holy discontent
mourn with some fruit, as i have mourned in vain;
in mine idolatry what showers of rain
mine eyes did waste! what griefs my heart did rent!
that sufferance was my sin; now i repent;
’cause i did suffer i must suffer pain
th’ hydropic drunkard, and night-scouting thief
the itchy lecher, and self-tickling proud
have the remembrance of past joys for relief
of comming ills. to (poor) me is allowed
no ease; for long, yet vehement grief hath been
th’ effect and cause, the punishment and sin
