In darkness let me dwell
(1610)
In darkness let me dwell
In darkness let me dwell, the ground shall sorrow be;The roof despair to bar all cheerful light from me;The walls of marble black that moistened still shall weep;My music hellish jarring sounds to banish friendly sleep.Thus wedded to my woes, and bedded to my tomb,O let me living, living die, till death do come.

In darkness let me dwell
In darkness let me dwell, the ground shall sorrow be;
The roof despair to bar all cheerful light from me;
The walls of marble black that moistened still shall weep;
My music hellish jarring sounds to banish friendly sleep.
Thus wedded to my woes, and bedded to my tomb,
O let me living, living die, till death do come.
