John Dowland - If My Complaints Could Passion Move lyrics

Your rating:
Or make Love see wherein I suffer wrong:
 My passions were enough to prove,
 That my despairs had govern'd me too long.
 O Love, I live and die in thee,
 Thy grief in my deep sighs still speaks:
 Thy wounds do freshly bleed in me,
 My heart for thy unkindness breaks:
 Yet thou dost hope when I despair,
 And when I hope, thou mak'st me hope in vain.
 Thou say'st thou canst my harms repair,
 Yet for redress, thou let'st me still complain.

 Can Love be rich, and yet I want?
 Is Love my judge, and yet I am condemn'd?
 Thou plenty hast, yet me dost scant:
 Thou made a God, and yet thy power contemn'd.
 That I do live, it is thy power:
 That I desire it is thy worth:
 If Love doth make men's lives too sour,
 Let me not love, nor live henceforth.
 Die shall my hopes, but not my faith,
 That you that of my fall may hearers be
 May here despair, which truly saith,
 I was more true to Love than Love to me
