Ah, Look Upon These Eyes
Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina
Ah look upon these eyes
Once full of gladness
And now but founts of sadness
By day and night from grief
I vainly seek relief
Ah look into this heart
Once so contented
And now tormented
Then read the sorrow there
'Tis more than I can bear
Ah cruel cruel love
Thus to forsake me
Then welcome death and take me
In my unhappy state
I ask no other fate
