Weep You No More, Sad Fountains Songtext
von Sting & Edin Karamazov

Weep you no more, sad fountains
What need you flow so fast?
Look how the snowy mountains
Heaven′s sun doth gently waste


But my sun's heavenly eyes
View not your weeping
That now lies sleeping, that now lies sleeping
Softly, softly, now softly lies sleeping

Sleep is a reconciling
A rest that peace begets
Doth not the sun rise smiling
When fair at e′en he sets?

Rest you then, rest, sad eyes
Melt not in weeping
While she lies sleeping, while she lies sleeping
Softly, softly, now softly lies sleeping
