歌手名 The Consort of Musicke/Anthony Rooley

作曲：John Dowland

o sweet woods of delight of solitariness

o how much i do love your solitariness

frome fame's desire from love's delight retir'd

in these sad groves an hermit's life i led

and those false pleasures which i once admir'd

with sad remembrance of my fall i dread

to birds to trees to earth impart i this

for she less secret and as senseless is

o sweet woods the delight of solitariness

o how much do i love your solitariness

experience which repentance only brings

doth bid me now my heart from love estrange

love is disdain'd when it doth look at kings

and love low-placed base and apt to change:

their pow'r doth take from him is liberty

her want of worth makes him in cradle die

o sweet woods the delight of solitariness

o how much do i love your solitariness

you men that give false worship unto love

and seek that which you never shall obtain

the endless work of sisyphus you procure

whose end is this to know you strive in vain

hope and desire which now your idols be

you needs must lose and feel despair with me

o sweet woods the delight of solitariness

o how much do i love your solitariness

you woods in you the fairest nymphs have walk'd

nymphs at whose sight all hearts did yield to love

you woods in whom dear lovers oft have talk'd

how do you know a place of mourning prove

wanstead my mistress saith this is the doom

thou art love's childbed nursery and tomb

o sweet woods the delight of solitariness

o how much do i love your solitariness
