A Melancholy Madrigal
Bernard Rands
About this work:
(Published by: Helicon Music Corp)
Your two eyes will slay me suddenly,
I may the beauty of them not sustain,
So woundeth it throughout my hearte keen;
And but your word will healen hastily
my heartes wounde, while that it is green,
Your two eyes will slay me suddenly,
I may the beauty of them not sustain,
Upon my trouthe, I tell you faithfully
That you be of my life and death the queen;
For with my death the trouthe shall be seen.
Your two eyes will slay me suddenly,
I may the beauty of them not sustain,
So woundeth it through all my hearte keen.
-Geoffrey Chaucer
