About this episode
TV-UNFlow My Tears is John Dowlands most famous lute song. Not much is known about this 16th Century English composer, but his songs are very beautiful and emotional even though more than 350 years has passed. The yearning quality of this song brings out the beauty of the ocarina. We hope to introduce more of his music in the future. We like to thank R for playing the harpsichord for us.Lyrics:Flow, my tears, fall from your springs! Exiled for ever, let me mourn; 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 relieved, Since pity is fled; And tears and sighs and groans my weary days Of all joys have deprived. From the highest spire of contentment My fortune is thrown; And fear and grief and pain for my deserts Are my hopes, since hope is gone. Hark! you shadows that in darkness dwell, Learn to contemn light Happy, happy they that in hell Feel not the world's despite.
