The Plaint
Musicians O Musicians: Heartsease
Heartsease; an you will have me live play heartsease.
Heartsease; an you will have me live play heartsease.
Light wind in the small green leaves
Play, oh play, my sad heart ease;
Play, oh play, my sad heart ease;
Birds, shake from your wilding throats
Tunèd charm of happy notes;
Tunèd charm of happy notes;
Shepherd, shepherd, pipe a shrill
A jocound pipe o'er vale and hill;
A jocound pipe o'er vale and hill;
For from too much weeping I,
Maid forlorn, am like to die.
Maid forlorn, am like to die.
