Come away, come away, death, and in sad cypress let me be laid. Fly away, breath; I am slain by a fair cruel maid. My shroud of white, stuck all with yew. Oh, 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!
