Peace; come away: the song of woe
Is after all an earthly song:
Peace; come away: we do him wrong
To sing so wildly: let us go.


Peace; come away: the song of woe<br>
Come; let us go: your cheeks are pale;
Is after all an earthly song:<br>
But half my life I leave behind:
Peace; come away: we do him wrong<br>
Methinks my friend is richly shrined;
To sing so wildly: let us go.<br>
But I shall pass; my work will fail.


Come; let us go: your cheeks are pale;<br>
Yet in these ears, till hearing dies,
But half my life I leave behind:<br>
One set slow bell will seem to toll
Methinks my friend is richly shrined;<br>
The passing of the sweetest soul
But I shall pass; my work will fail.<br>
That ever look’d with human eyes.


Yet in these ears, till hearing dies,<br>
I hear it now, and o’er and o’er,
One set slow bell will seem to toll<br>
Eternal greetings to the dead;
The passing of the sweetest soul<br>
And "Ave, Ave, Ave," said,
That ever look’d with human eyes.<br>
"Adieu, adieu" for evermore.}}
 
I hear it now, and o’er and o’er,<br>
Eternal greetings to the dead;<br>
And "Ave, Ave, Ave," said,<br>
"Adieu, adieu" for evermore.

Peace; come away: the song of woe
Is after all an earthly song:
Peace; come away: we do him wrong
To sing so wildly: let us go.

Come; let us go: your cheeks are pale;
But half my life I leave behind:
Methinks my friend is richly shrined;
But I shall pass; my work will fail.

Yet in these ears, till hearing dies,
One set slow bell will seem to toll
The passing of the sweetest soul
That ever look’d with human eyes.

I hear it now, and o’er and o’er,
Eternal greetings to the dead;
And "Ave, Ave, Ave," said,
"Adieu, adieu" for evermore.
