Testo Campion: The Cypress Curtain of the Night - Elizabeth Kenny
Testo della canzone Campion: The Cypress Curtain of the Night (Elizabeth Kenny), tratta dall'album Thomas Campion: Move Now with Measured Sound
The cypress curtain of the night is spread
And over all a silent dew is cast
The weaker cares by sleep are conquered
But I alone with hideous grief am cast
In spite of Morpheus' chants, a watch to keep
Over mine eyes to banish careless sleep
In spite of Morpheus' chants, a watch to keep
Over mine eyes to banish careless sleep
Yet oft my trembling eyes through faintness close
And then the map of Hell before me stands
Which ghosts do see that I am one of those
Ordained to pine in Sorrow's endless bands
Since from my wretched soul all hopes are left
And now no cause of life to me is left
Since from my wretched soul all hopes are left
And now no cause of life to me is left
Grief sear my soul, for that will still endure
When my crazed body is consumed and gone
Bear it to thy black den, there keep it sure
Where thou ten thousand souls dost tire upon
Yet who do not afford such food to thee
As this poor one, the worser part of me
Yet who do not afford such food to thee
As this poor one, the worser part of me
