O grief! Ev’n on the Bud

T. Morley

O grief! Ev'n on the Bud that fairly flowered

The Sun hath lowered;

And, ah, the Breast (which Love durst never venture)

Bold Death did enter.

Pity, O Heavens, that have my Love in keeping, my cries and weeping.

O grief! Ev’n on the Bud | T. Morley | Lyric Companion
