When to her lute Corinna sings: When to her lute Corrina sings - Dorothy Linell/Steven Rickards
Written by:Thomas Campion
When to her lute Corinna sings
Her voice revives the leaden strings
And doth in highest notes appear
As any challenged echo clear
But when she doth of mourning speak
Ev'n with her sighs her sighs her sighs
The strings do break
The strings do break
But when she doth of mourning speak
Ev'n with her sighs her sighs her sighs the strings do break
The strings do break
And as her lute doth live or die
Let by her passion so must I
For when of pleasure she doth sing
My thoughts enjoy a sudden spring
But if she doth of sorrow speak
Ev'n from my heart my heart my heart the strings do break
The strings do break
But if she doth of sorrow speak
Ev'n from my heart my heart my heart the strings do break
The strings do break
