lyrics
Burst
Burst forth my tears
Flow to assist my forward grief
Showing what pain eternal love provokes
Sad pining years
With no day of peace
At beauty's gate - while mercy sleeps -
My grief in hope of pity knocks
Like to the winds
My sighs have winged been
Yet my suits and sighs repaid with mocks
Oh ruthless rigour harder than the rocks
Eternally I must repent
And cannot live since hope is gone
From now to coffin despair shall prove
Most sacred bounds, too, know their own swansong
Exiled
Exiled forever let me mourn
Where night's black bird sad infamy sings
There let me live forlorn
Never may
My woes be relieved
No nights are dark enough for those
That in ordeal their fortunes deplore
Hark you shadows
Learn to contemn light
Happy, happy, they that in Hell
Feel not the world's respite
Now, oh now I need must part
Partin' though I absent mourn
From now to coffin despair shall prove
Most sacred bounds, too, know their own swansong
Go!
Go crystal tears!
Like to the morning showers
Haste restless sighs!
Dissolve the ice of her indurate heart
Can she excuse my wrongs with virtues cloak?
Shall I call her cruel when she proves unkind?
Are those clear fires van'shin' into smoke?
Must I praise the leaves where no truth I do find?
But rest awhile you cruel cares
Don't be more severe than love
Eternal pining never spares
For this, go, burst forth, forth my tears
