Text marked as lyrics

Cease mine eyes, this your lamenting, this your lament ing, your lamenting, O cease, alas, O cease, alas, this your lament ing. In vain, in vain, in vain you hope, you hope in vain of her hard heart's relent ing. O cease your flow ing: drop not, drop not, drop not so fast, drop not where no, no grace is growing. See she laughs, she smiles, she plays with glad ness; see she laughs, she smiles, she plays, she plays and smiles with joy and glad ness; see she laughs, she smiles, she plays, she laughs, she smiles, she plays, see she laughs and smiles and plays, and plays with joy and glad ness; To see your grief and sadness. O Love, thou art abused, thou art abused; Was never true love so scornfully thus, thus, O thus used. O Love, O Love, thou art abused, O Love, thou art a bused: Was never true love so scornfully thus, thus, O thus used. Cease mine eyes, cease your lamenting, la menting, this your lamenting, this your lament ing, cease, O alas, O cease, alas, this your lament ing In vain, in vain it is to hope of her hard heart's relent ing. O cease your flowing: O drop, drop not, drop not, drop not so fast, where no grace is grow ing. See she laughs, she smiles, she plays, she plays with joy and gladness; see she laughs, she smiles, she plays, see she plays and smiles with joy, with joy and glad ness; see she laughs, she smiles, she plays, she plays, laughs and smiles with gladness, she smiles with joy and gladness; To see your grief, grief and sadness. O Love, thou art a bused, thou art abus ed; Was never true love true, never scornfully thus, thus, O thus us ed. O Love, thou art abus ed, a bused, thou art abus ed: Was never true love, true love so scornfully, O thus, O thus us ed. Cease mine eyes, cease your lamenting, your lamenting. in vain, in vain, in vain you hope, you hope of her hard heart's relenting. O cease your flowing: drop not, O drop not, drop not so fast, drop not, O where no grace is growing. See she laughs, she smiles, she plays with joy and gladness; see she laughs, she smiles, she plays, she plays, and smiles, see she plays with joy and gladness; see she laughs, she smiles, she plays, smiles, laughs, and plays with joy and gladness; To see your grief and sadness. O Love, thou art abus ed, thou art abus ed; Was never true love so scornful ly, scorn ful ly thus, O thus us ed. O Love, thou art abus ed, O Love, O Love, O Love, thou art abused: Was never true love so scornful ly, scornful ly thus, O thus us ed.
