John Wilbye - Draw on Sweet Night Lyrics

Lyrics Draw on Sweet Night - John Wilbye



Draw on, Sweet Night
John Wilbye (1574 - 1638)
Draw on, Sweet Night, friend unto those cares
That do arise from painful melancholy.
My life so ill through want of comfort fares,
That unto thee I consecrate it wholly.
Sweet Night, draw on!
My griefs when they be told to shades
And darkness find some ease from paining,
And while thou all in silence dost enfold,
I then shall have best time for my complaining.
