Mistress Tears

I have deserved all tongues to speak their bitterness over me

The lake of my treasures darken, being blown with the wind

I have deserved all tongues to speak their bitterness over me

The lake of my treasures darken, being blown with the wind

As the earth does weep, the sun being set

Each flower moistened like a like a melting eye

I have deserved all tongues to speak their bitterness over me

The lake of my treasures darken, being blown with the wind

Her circled eye enforced by sympathy

Of those fair suns set in her mistress sky

Who in a salt-waved ocean quench their light

Which makes the maid weep like the dewy night

Grief dallied with no law or limit knows

Deep woes roll silent like gentle wind

Behold the thorns hidden under each rose

Distress like dumps when

Time is kept with tears

I have deserved all tongues to speak their bitterness over me

The lake of my treasures darken, eternally!
