john dowland – i saw my lady weep lyrics
Loading...
i saw my lady weep,
and sorrow proud to be advanced so,
in those fair eyes where all perfections keep.
her face was full of woe,
but such a woe (believe me) as wins more hearts,
than mirth can do with her enticing parts.
sorrow was there made fair,
and p-ssion wise, tears a delightful thing,
silence beyond all speech a wisdom rare.
she made her sighs to sing,
and all things with so sweet a sadness move,
as made my heart at once both grieve and love.
o fairer than aught else
the world can show, leave off in time to grieve.
enough, enough, your joyful looks excels.
tears kill the heart, believe;
o strive not to be excellent in woe,
which only breeds your beauty’s overthrow.
