(harle/shakespeare)
Come awaycome awaydeath
And in sad cyprus let me be laid
Fie awayfie awaybreath
I am slain by a fair cruel maid
My shroud of white stuck all with you
O prepare it
My part of death no one so true
Did share it
Come awaycome awaydeath
Not a flowernot a flowersweet
On my black coffin let there be strewn
Not a friendnot a friendgreet
My poor corpse where my bones shall be thrown
A thousand thousand sighs to say
Lay me over
Sad true lover never find my grave
To weep there
Come awaycome awaydeath
Come awaycome awaydeath
And in sad cyprus let me be laid
Fie awayfie awaybreath
I am slain by a fair cruel maid
My shroud of white stuck all with you
O prepare it
My part of death no one so true
Did share it
Come awaycome awaydeath
Not a flowernot a flowersweet
On my black coffin let there be strewn
Not a friendnot a friendgreet
My poor corpse where my bones shall be thrown
A thousand thousand sighs to say
Lay me over
Sad true lover never find my grave
To weep there
Come awaycome awaydeath
