Weep you no more, sad fountains;<br>
:Weep you no more, sad fountains;
What need you flow so fast?<br>
:What need you flow so fast?
Look how the snowy mountains<br>
:Look how the snowy mountains
Heav'n's sun doth gently waste.<br>
:Heav'n's sun doth gently waste.
But my sun's heav'nly eyes<br>
:But my sun's heav'nly eyes
View not your weeping<br>
:View not your weeping
That now lies sleeping,<br>
:That now lies sleeping,
Softly, softly, now softly lies sleeping.<br>
:Softly, softly, now softly lies sleeping.


Sleep is a reconciling,<br>
:Sleep is a reconciling,
A rest that Peace begets.<br>
:A rest that Peace begets.
Doth not the sun rise smiling<br>
:Doth not the sun rise smiling
When fair at e'en he sets<br>
:When fair at e'en he sets
Rest you then, rest, sad eyes,<br>
:Rest you then, rest, sad eyes,
Melt not in weeping<br>
:Melt not in weeping
while she lies sleeping,<br>
:while she lies sleeping,
Softly, softly, now softly lies sleeping.
:Softly, softly, now softly lies sleeping.

Weep you no more, sad fountains;
What need you flow so fast?
Look how the snowy mountains
Heav'n's sun doth gently waste.
But my sun's heav'nly eyes
View not your weeping
That now lies sleeping,
Softly, softly, now softly lies sleeping.
Sleep is a reconciling,
A rest that Peace begets.
Doth not the sun rise smiling
When fair at e'en he sets
Rest you then, rest, sad eyes,
Melt not in weeping
while she lies sleeping,
Softly, softly, now softly lies sleeping.
