about

Lyrics from "Twelfth Night"

lyrics

Come Away Death
words by W. Shakespeare
music by John Allee

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, O, where sad true lover
Never find my grave to weep there
