Flow My Tears - Elin Manahan/Thomas Artist

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 forlorn

Down vain lights shine you no more

No nights are dark enough for those

That in despair their lost fortunes deplore

Light doth but shame disclose

Never may my woes be relieved

Since pity is fled

And tears and sighs and groans my weary days

My weary days

Of all joys have deprived

From the highest spire of contentment

My fortune is thrown

And fear and grief and pain for my deserts

For my deserts

Are my hopes since hope is gone

Hark you shadows that in darkness dwell

Learn to contemn light

Happy happy they that in hell

Feel not the world's despite

Hark you shadows that in darkness dwell

Learn to contemn light

Happy happy they that in hell

Feel not the world's despite
