"Come Away, Come Away, Death"
By William Shakespeare
Come away, come away, death,
And in sad
cypress let me be laid.
Fly away, fly away, breath;
I am slain
by a fair cruel maid.
My shroud of white, stuck all with yew,
O,
prepare it!
My part of death, no one so true
Did
share it.
Not a flower, not a flower sweet,
On my black
coffin let there be strown.
Not a friend, not a friend greet
My poor
corpse, where my bones shall be thrown.
A thousand thousand sighs to save,
Lay me, O, where
Sad true lover never find my grave,
To weep there!
