Come away, death by Geoffrey Shaw — Lyrics

Geoffrey Shaw English Secular Partsongs Staff notation

Full Lyrics

Come away, come away, death, And in sad cypress let me be laid; Fly away, fly away, breath; I am slain by a fair cruel maid, My shroud of white, stuck all with yew, O! 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 corse, 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! Twelfth Night Act II. Scene 4
