¶Lyrics / Text

Flow not so fast, ye fountains; What needeth all this haste? Swell not above your mountains, Nor spend your time in waste. Gentle springs, freshly your salt tears Must still fall dropping from their spheres. Weep they apace whom Reason Or ling'ring Time can ease. My sorrow can no Season, Nor aught besides, appease. Gentle springs, freshly your salt tears Must still fall dropping from their spheres. Time can abate the terror Of every common pain; But common grief is error, True grief will still remain. Gentle springs, freshly your salt tears Must still fall dropping from their spheres.
