Arne: Come away, death

Come Away, Death - April Cantelo/English Chamber Orchestra/Raymond Leppard

Lyrics by：William Shakespeare

Composed by：Thomas Augustine Arne

Come come come away death

And in sad Cyprus let me be laid

Fie fie fie away breath

I am slain I am slain by a fair cruel maid

I am slain I am slain by a fair cruel maid

My shroud of white stuck all with you

Prepare it prepare it

My part of death my part of death no one so true

Did share it

No one so true

Did share it

Not a flower not a flower sweet

On my black coffin let there be strewn

Not a friend not a friend greet

My poor my poor corpse where my bones shall be thrown

My poor my poor corpse where my bones shall be thrown

A thousand thousand sighs to say

Lay me lay over

Sad true lover never find my grave

To weep to weep to weep there

To weep to weep to weep there
