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 moisten'd still shall weep;
my music hellish jarring sounds
to banish friendly sleep.
thus wedded to my woes
and bedded to my tomb,
O let me living die,
till death to come ...
