Downvain

Flow my tears, fall from your springs
Exiled for ever, let me mourn
Flow my tears, fall from your springs
Exiled for ever, let me mourn
Where night’s black bird her sad infamy sings
There let me live forever
(Light doth but shame disclose)
Hark you shadows that in darkness dwell!
Down vain lights, shine you no more
No nights are dark enough for those
That in despair their lost fortunes deplore;
There let me live forever
(Light doth but shame disclose)
Hark you shadows that in darkness dwell
Hark you shadows that in darkness dwell
Learn to contemn light;
Happy, they that in hell
Feel not the world’s despite
Aaaa-aaah…
Hark you shadows, there let me live forever
