Weep you no more, sad fountains; <br />What need you flow so fast? <br />Look how the snowy mountains <br />Heaven's sun doth gently waste. <br />But my sun's heavenly eyes <br />View not your weeping, <br />That now lies sleeping <br />Softly, now softly lies <br />Sleeping. <br /> <br />Sleep is a reconciling, <br />A rest that peace begets: <br />Doth not the sun rise smiling <br />When fair at even he sets? <br />Rest you then, rest, sad eyes, <br />Melt not in weeping, <br />While she lies sleeping <br />Softly, now softly lies <br />Sleeping.<br /><br />John Dowland<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/weep-you-no-more-sad-fountains-2/
