John Ford. 15861639235. Dawn
FLY hence, shadows, that do keep | |
Watchful sorrows charm’d in sleep! | |
Tho’ the eyes be overtaken, | |
Yet the heart doth ever waken | |
Thoughts chain’d up in busy snares | 5 |
Of continual woes and cares: | |
Love and griefs are so exprest | |
As they rather sigh than rest. | |
Fly hence, shadows, that do keep | |
Watchful sorrows charm’d in sleep! | 10 |
