Dowland: First Booke of Songes, 1597 - 19. Awake, sweet love: thou art return'd - Rufus Muller/Christopher Wilson

作词：Anonymous

作曲：John Dowland

Awake sweet love thou art return'd

My heart which long in absence mourn'd

Lives now in perfect joy

Let love which never absent dies

Now live for ever in her eyes

Whence came my first annoy

Only herself hath seemed fair

She only I could love

She only drave me to despair

When she unkind did prove

Despair did she make me wish to die

That I my joys might end

She only which did make me fly

My state may now amend

If she esteem thee now aught worth

She will not grieve thy love henceforth

Which so despair hath prov'd

Despair hath proved now in me

That love will not unconstant be

Though long in vain I lov'd

If she at last reward thy love

And all thy harms repair

Thy happiness will sweeter prove

Rais'd up from deep despair

And if that now thou welcome be

When thou with her dost meet

She all this while but play'd with thee

To make thy joys more sweet
