Two songs

Song Cycle by Elizabeth R. Mitchell

2. Many a beauteous flower  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: English 
Many a beauteous flower doth spring
From the tears that flood my eyes,
And the nightingale doth sing
In the burthen of my sighs.

If, O child, thou lovest me,
Take these flowerets fair and frail,
And my soul shall waft to thee
Love songs of the nightingale.
