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, my music
Hellish jarring sounds, to banish friendly sleep
Thus, wedded to my woes
And bedded to my tomb
O let me living die, o let me living die
Till death doth come, till death doth come
Till death doth come
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, my music
Hellish jarring sounds, to banish friendly sleep
Thus, wedded to my woes
And bedded to my tomb
O let me living die, o let me living die
Till death doth come, till death doth come
Till death doth come
In darkness let me dwell
