Sad is my day and ling'ring night
Language: English
Sad is my Day and ling'ring Night, In silent Grief I weep alone; Delia is lost, my past Delight Is now the Source of endless Moan! When spent with Grief I die at last, Will Delia see my poor Remains? Lament the Time in Absence past And pity then her Lover's Pains?
