like desert woods - charles villiers stanford lyrics

Loading...

like desert woods, with darksome shades obscurèd
where dreadful beasts, where hateful horror reigneth
such is my wounded heart, whom sorrow paineth

the trees are fatal shafts, to death inurèd
that cruel love within my heart maintaineth
to whet my grief, whenas my sorrow waneth

the ghastly beasts, my thoughts in cares assurèd
which wage me war, whilst heart no succour gaineth
with false suspect and fear that still remaineth

the horrors, burning sighs, by cares procurèd
which forth i send whilst weeping eye complaineth
to cool the heat the helpless heart containeth

but shafts, but cares, sighs, horrors unrecurèd
were nought esteem’d if, for their pains awarded
your shepherd’s love might be by you regarded

- charles villiers stanford lyrics
