Product Description
Sleep Wayward thoughts by John Dowland for alto voice, with flute and guitar accompaniment using Musescore. The contra-melody on the flute was composed by David W Solomons.
The alto part is sung here by Duncan Saunderson.
Sleep, wayward thoughts, and rest you with my love:
Let not my Love be with my love displeasd.
Touch not, proud hands, lest you her anger move,
But pine you with my longings long diseasd.
Thus, while she sleeps, I sorrow for her sake:
So sleeps my Love, and yet my love doth wake.
But, O the fury of my restless fear,
The hidden anguish of my flesh desires,
The glory and the beauties that appear,
Between her browes near Cupids closed fires.
Sleep dainty love while I sigh for her sake:
So sleeps my Love, and yet my love doth wake.
My love doth rage, and yet my Love doth rest:
Fear in my love, and yet my Love secure:
Peace in my Love, and yet my love oppressd:
Impatient, yet of perfect temprature.
Thus while she sleeps, I sorrow for her sake:
So sleeps my Love, and yet my love doth wake.
