SONG, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Go, crystal tears! Like to the morning showers
Last Line: Both from a spotless heart and patient eyes.
Subject(s): Happiness; Joy; Delight


GO, crystal tears! like to the morning showers
And sweetly weep into thy lady's breast
And as the dews revive the drooping flowers,
So let your drops of pity be addressed,
To quicken up the thoughts of my desert,
Which sleeps too sound whilst I from her depart.

Haste, restless sighs! and let your burning breath
Dissolve the ice of her indurate heart
Whose frozen rigour like forgetful death,
Feels never any touch of my desert.
Yet sighs and tears to her I sacrifice,
Both from a spotless heart and patient eyes.
