John Dowland - White as Lillies



White as lilies was her face
When she smiled and she beguiled
And I will never find
A love like this again


Lady, as you know
My heart is full of sorrow
For I can't see a face
Wake up with you tomorrow


Your fair looks inflame my desire
Quench it again with love
If love makes my sweet
Come to the silent grovy shade


White as lilies was her face
When she smiled and she beguiled
And I will never find
A love like this again


White as lilies was her face
When she smiled and she beguiled
And I will never find
A love like this again.


Andreas Scholl  performing 'White as lilies' from Les Contre-Ténors
