Adelaide Crapsey

The Plaint

Musicians O Musicians: Heartsease
Heartsease: an you will have me live play heartsease.
 
 
Light wind in the small green leaves
Play, oh play, my sad heart ease;
 
Birds, shake from your wilding throats
Tune’d charm of happy notes;
 
Shepherd, shepherd, pipe a shrill
A jocound pipe o’er vale and hill;
 
For from too much weeping I,
Maid forlorn, am like to die.
