Lyrics Dido and Aeneas: "Thy Hand, Belinda.When I Am Laid in Earth" - English Chamber Orchestra feat. Jessye Norman & Raymond Leppard



Thy hand, Belinda; darkness shades me:
On thy bosom let me rest:
More I would, but Death invades me:
Death is now a welcome guest.
When I am laid, am laid in earth,
May my wrongs create no trouble, no trouble in thy breast;
Remember me! Remember me! but ah! forget my fate.



Writer(s): Henry Purcell
