Come again that I may cease to mourn,
No nights are dark enough for those

Light doth but shame disclose.
I sit, I sigh, I weep, I faint, I die,
In deadly pain, and endless misery.

All the day the sun that lends me shine,

Her smiles, my springs, that makes my joys to grow,
Her frowns the winters of my woe.

To see the fruits and joys that some do find,

John Dowland (music),  Anonymous (words)

United Kingdom

Flow, my tears, fall from your springs!
Exiled for ever, let me mourn;
Where night's black bird her sad infamy sings,
There let me live forlorn.

Down vain lights, shine you no more!
No nights are dark enough for those
That in despair their lost 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 deserts
Are my hopes, since hope is gone.

Hark! you shadows that in darkness dwell,
Learn to contemn light
Happy, happy they that in hell
Feel not the world's despite.

*) "loue" → "love"; "enuite" → "invite. Often, "v" and "u" are used interchangeably.
