Alternate Author Name(s): Wyat, Thomas
Variant Title(s): Song: 47
Subject(s): Grief; Sorrow; Sadness
If in the world there be more woe
Than I have in my heart,
Whereso it is, it doth come fro,
And in my breast there doth it grow,
For to increase my smart.
Alas! I am receipt of every care,
And of my life each sorrow claims his part.
Who list to live in quietness
By me let him beware,
For I by high disdain
Am made without redress,
And unkindness, alas, hath slain
My poor true heart, all comfortless.
