Song, by Two Voices. From “The Brides’ Tragedy.”
First Voice
W
ho is the baby, that doth lie
Beneath the silken canopy
Of thy blue eye?
Second.
It is young Sorrow, laid asleep
In the crystal deep.
Both.
Let us sing his lullaby,
Heigho! a sob and a sigh.
FIRST VOICE.
What sound is that, so soft, so clear,
Harmonious as a bubbled tear
Bursting, we hear?
Second.
It is young Sorrow, slumber breaking,
Suddenly awaking.
Both.
Let us sing his lullaby,
Heigho! a sob and a sigh.
