CANCIONEROS: 2 by CRISTOBAL DE CASTILLEJO

First Line: SOME DAY, SOME DAY
Last Line: SHALT THOU FIND REST.
Subject(s): DEATH; DEAD, THE;

Some day, some day
O troubled breast,
Shalt thou find rest.

If Love in thee
To grief give birth,
Six feet of earth
Can more than he;
There calm and free
And unoppressed
Shalt thou find rest.

The unattained
In life at last,
When life is passed,
Shall all be gained;
And no more pained,
No more distressed,
Shalt thou find rest.
