In Darkness Let Me Dwell

<br>Sorrow, stay! Lend true repentant tears <br>To a woeful wretched wight. <br>Hence, despair with thy tormenting fears <br>0 do not my poor heart affright. <br><br>In darkness let me dwell, <br>the ground shall sorrow be; <br>The roof despair to bar <br>all cheerful light from me: <br>The walls of marble black <br>that moistened still shall weep; <br>My music hellish jarring sounds <br>to banish friendly sleep. <br><br>(Thus wedded to my woes, <br>and bedded to my tomb, <br>Oh let me living, living die, <br>till death do come)
