Flow my tears lyrics

Flow my teares fall from your springs

Exil'd for ever: let me mourn

Where night's black bird her sad infamy sing

There let mee live forlorn

Down vain lights, shine you no more!

No nights are dark enough for those

That in despair their last 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

Of all joys have deprived

From the highest spire of contentment

My fortune is thrown

And fear and grief and pain for my desert

Are my hopes, since hope is gone
