3 Shakespeare Songs, Op. 6: No. 1, Come Away, Death - Antonio Pappano/Ian Bostridge

Written by：Roger Quilter

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 corpse where my bones shall be thrown

A thousand thousand sighs to save

Lay me oh where

Sad true lover never find my grave

To weep to weep to weep there
