¶Lyrics / Text

The unthrift sun shot vital gold, A thousand, thousand pieces; And heav'n its azure did unfold Chequer'd with snowy fleeces; The air was all in spice, And ev'ry bush A garland wore: Thus fed my eyes, But all the earth lay hush, Only a little fountain lent Some use for ears, And on the dumb shades language spent, The music of her tears.
