Die Verbannten Kinder Evas
Cease Sorrows Now
Cease, sorrows, now,For you have done the deed,Lo, Care hath nowConsumed my carcase quite.No hope is left,Nor help can stand instead,For doleful deathDoth cut oft pleasure quite.Yet whilst I hearThe knelling of the bell,Before I die, I'll sinWould my conceit,That first enforced my woe,Or else mine eyesWhich still the same increase,Might be extinct,To end my sorrows soWhich now are suchAs nothing can release,Whose life is deathWhose sweet each change of sour,And eke whose bell reneweth every hour.
