in darkness let me dwell

in darkness let me dwell; the ground shall sorrow be

the roof despair

to bar all cheerful light from me;

the walls of marble black

that moist'ned still shall weep;

my music

hellish jarring sounds

to banish friendly sleep. thus

wedded to my woes

and bedded in my tomb

o let me dying live

till death doth come

till death doth come. in darkness let me dwell
