Sorrow Song Matches base text
Language: English
Had Sorrow ever fitter Place To act his Part, Than is my Heart, Where it takes up all the Space Where is no rein To entertain Thought that wears another Face? Nor will I Sorrow ever have Therein to be But only thee, To whom I full possession gave: Thou in thy name Must hold the same, Until thou bring it to the grave.
