Dawn

B. Dieren

Fly hence, shadows, that do keep

Watchful sorrows charm'd in sleep!

Tho' the eyes be overtaken,

Yet the heart doth ever waken

Thoughts chain'd up in busy snares

Of continual woes and cares:

Love and griefs are so exprest

As they rather sigh than rest.

Fly hence, shadows, that do keep

Watchful sorrows charm'd in sleep!
