For weariness of thee | B |
Nor in hope the world can show | A |
A fitter love for me | B |

Must die at last 'tis best | D |
To use myself in jest | D |
Thus by feign'd deaths to die | C |

Yesternight the sun went hence | E |
And yet is here today | F |

Speedier journeys since I take | G |
More wings and spurs than he | B |

That if good fortune fall | I |
Cannot add another hour | H |

And we teach it art and length | K |
Itself o'er us to'advance | J |

When thou sigh'st thou sigh'st not wind | L |
But sigh'st my soul away | F |
When thou weep'st unkindly kind | L |
My life's blood doth decay | F |

That thou lov'st me as thou say'st | M |
If in thine my life thou waste | N |
That art the best of me | B |
- | |
Let not thy divining heart | O |
Forethink me any ill | P |
Destiny may take thy part | O |
And may thy fears fulfil | P |
But think that we | B |
Are but turn'd aside to sleep | Q |
They who one another keep | Q |
Alive ne'er parted be | B |
