about

From the album St Kenelm's : The Sapperton Sessions.

Lachrymæ is an improvisation following a tradition found in hymnody, where the melody combines two songs - the words of one set to the tune of the other. The songs in question are Flow My Teares by John Dowland (1563-1626) and Je Vivroie Liement by Guillaume de Machaut (1300-1377), both of which feature on the debut album, Dead Space Chamber Music.

lyrics

Flow, my teares, fall from your springs,
Exiled forever, let me mourne;
Where night’s black bird her sad infamy sings,
There let me live forlorn.

Down vain lights, shine you no more,
No nights are dark enough for those,
That in despair their lost fortunes deplore,
Light doth but shame disclose.

Never may my woes be reliev’ed,
Since pity is fled;
And teares and sighs and groanes my weary days,
Of all joys have depriv’ed.

From the highest tower of contentment,
My fortune is thrown,
And feare and grief and pain for my deserts,
Are my hope, since hope is gone.

Hark! You shadows that in darkness dwell,
Learn to condemn light,
Happy, happy they that in hell,
Feel not the world’s despite.
