Come Heavy Sleep歌词完整版
John Dowland, Come Heavy Sleep
Music: John Dowland, published in the First book of songs, 1613
Poem: Fulke Greville, published in 1633 in Certaine Learned and Elegant Workes of the Right Honorable Fulke Lord Brooke.
Come heavy sleep,
The image of true death,
And close up these my weary weeping eyes,
Whose spring of tears doth stop my vital breath,
And tears my heart with sorrow’s high swoll’n cries.
Come and possess my tired thought-worn soul,
That living dies, that living dies, that living dies,
till thou on me be stole.
Come shape of rest,
And shadow of my end,
Allied to Death, child to this black-faced, black-faced night;
Come thou and charm these rebels in my breast,
Whose waking fancies doth my mind affright.
O come sweet sleep, or I die forever;
Come ere my last sleep comes, come ere ma last sleep comes,
O Come, or come thou never.
