John Dowland

Right now I'm listening to John Dowland's

060.gifIn 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 moistend still shall weep,
My music hellish jarring sounds, to banish friendly sleep.
Thus wedded to my woes, and bedded to my tomb,
O, let me, living, living , die, till death do come.
In darkness let me dwell.

John Dowland, who was born in England in 1562 and died in 1626, is one of my favorite Renaissance composers...

His melancholy songs and exquitely beautiful sound of his lute music touch my heart, especially when I'm overwhelmed...
