In Darkness Let Me Dwell

Sorrow, stay! Lend true repentant tears
To a woeful wretched wight
Hence, despair with thy tormenting fears
0 do not my poor heart affright

In darkness let me dwell
The ground shall sorrow be
The roof despair to bar
All cheerful light from me
The walls of marble black
That moistened still shall weep
My music hellish jarring sounds
To banish friendly sleep

(Thus wedded to my woes
And bedded to my tomb
Oh let me living, living die
Till death do come)
