[ti:Flow my tears]

[al:Sleep Now, Quiet Forest]
[00:01.21]Flow, my tears, fall from your springs!
[00:11.32]Exiled for ever, let me mourn;
[00:20.69]Where night's black bird her sad infamy sings,
[00:30.59]There let me live forlorn.
[00:41.58]
[00:42.61]Down vain lights, shine you no more!
[00:52.19]No nights are dark enough for those
[01:01.32]That in despair their last fortunes deplore.
[01:10.97]Light doth but shame disclose.
[01:20.14]
[01:22.81]Never may my woes be relieved,
[01:32.39]Since pity is fled;
[01:36.97]And tears and sighs and groans my weary days, my weary days
[01:50.92]Of all joys have deprived.
[01:59.87]
[02:01.32]From the highest spire of contentment
[02:11.24]My fortune is thrown;
[02:15.80]And fear and grief and pain for my deserts, for my deserts
[02:29.32]Are my hopes, since hope is gone.
[02:38.76]
[02:41.45]Hark! you shadows that in darkness dwell,
[02:53.22]Learn to contemn light
[03:02.22]Happy, happy they that in hell
[03:11.30]Feel not the world's despite.
[03:22.29]
[03:23.69]Hark! you shadows that in darkness dwell,
[03:35.37]Learn to contemn light
[03:44.86]Happy, happy they that in hell
[03:54.98]Feel not the world's despite.
