Henry Purcell
O let me weep, Act V - (The Fairy Queen, Z. 629)
O, O let me
O‚ O let me‚ let me weep!
O‚ O let me
O, O let me, let me weep
O‚ O, O let me
For ever, ever weep
For ever
For ever
For ever‚ for ever weep!
My eyes no more
No more, no more
No more, no more
Shall welcome sleep
I'll hide me, I'll hide me
From the sight of day
And sigh, sigh
Sigh my soul away
O, O let me
O, O let me, let me weep
O, O let me
O, O let me, let me weep
O, O, O let me
For ever, ever weep
For ever
For ever
For ever, for ever weep!
He's gone, he's gone
He's gone
His loss deplore
He's gone, he's gone
He's gone
His loss deplore
And I shall never
Never, never
Never, never see him more
I shall never
Never, never see him more
Shall never
Never
Never see him more
I shall never
Shall never
Shall never
Shall never see him more
[ William Shakespeare ]

My eyes no more shall welcome sleep
I'll hide me from the sight of day
And sigh my soul away
He's gone, his loss deplore;
And I shall never see him more
