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 Olde English<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/weep-you-no-more-sad-fountains/
