cyril rootham - a shepherd in a glade, op. 16 lyrics

a shepherd in a glade
his plaining made
of love and lover’s wrong
unto the fairest lass
that trod on grass
and thus began his song:
“since love and fortune will
i honour still
your fair and lovely eye:
what conquest will it be
sweet nymph, for thee
if i for sorrow die?
restore, restore my heart again
which love by thy sweet looks hath slain
lest, that enforced by your disdain i sing
‘fie, fie, fie on love, it is a foolish thing.’”

“my heart, where have you laid?
o cruel maid!
to k!ll where you might save
why have ye cast it forth
as nothing worth
without a tomb or grave?
o lеt it be entombed and liе
in your sweet mind and memory;
lest i resound on every warbling string
‘fie, fie on love, it is a foolish thing.’
restore, restore my heart again
which love by thy sweet looks hath slain
lest, that enforced by your disdain i sing
‘fie, fie, fie on love, it is a foolish thing.’”
