John Dowland - By a fountaine where I lay - текст песни (слова)

By a fountain where I lay,
 All blessed be that blessed day,
 By the glimm'ring of the sun,
 O never be her shining done,
 When I might see alone
 My true love's fairest one,
 Love's dear light,
 Love's clear sight,
 No world's eyes can clearer see,
 A fairer sight none, none can be.
 
 Fair with garlands all address'd,
 Was never nymph more fairly bless'd,
 Blessed in the high'st degree,
 So many she ever blessed be
 Came to this fountain near
 With such a smiling cheer.
 Such a face
 Such a grace
 Happy, happy eyes that see
 Such a heav'nly sight as she.
 
 Then I forthwith took my pipe,
 Which I all fair and clean did wipe,
 And upon a heav'nly ground,
 All in the grace of beauty found,
 Played this roundelay,
 Welcome, fair Queen of May,
 Sing, sweet air,
 Welcome fair,
 Welcome be the shepherd's Queen,
 The glory of all our green.
