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 />Anonymous<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tears-john-dowland-s-third-and-last-book-of-song/
