XII. By a fountain where I lay - The Consort Of Musicke/Anthony Rooley

Written by：John Dowland

By a fountain where I lay

All blessed be that blessed day

By the glimm'ring of the sun

O never be her shining done

When I might see alone

My true love's fairest one

Love's dear light

Love's clear sight

No world's eyes can clearer see

A fairer sight none none can be

When I might see alone

My true love's fairest one

Love's dear light

Love's clear sight

No world's eyes can clearer see

A fairer sight none none can be

Fair with garlands all a-dress'd

Was never nymph more fairly bless'd

Blessed in the high'st degree

So may she ever blessed be

Came to this fountain near

With such a smiling cheer

Such a face

Such a grace

Happy happy eyes that see

Such a heav'nly sight as she

Came to this fountain near

With such a smiling cheer

Such a face

Such a grace

Happy happy eyes that see

Such a heav'nly sight as she

Then I forthwith took my pipe

Which I all fair and clean did wipe

And upon a heav'nly ground

All in the grace of beauty found

Played this roundelay

Welcome fair Queen of May

Sing sweet air

Welcome fair

Welcome be the shepherd's Queen

The glory of all our green

Played this roundelay

Welcome fair Queen of May

Sing sweet air

Welcome fair

Welcome be the shepherd's Queen

The glory of all our green
