Description
Instrumental arrangement of a Renaissance song.
Versions for flute, cor anglais, viola, cello or clarinet with guitar are available
and also versions with the original words for voice and guitar (in C minor and also in D minor)
The words of the first verse are:
Rest, sweet nymphs, let golden sleep
Charm your star brighter eyes,
While my lute the watch doth keep
With pleasing sympathies.
Lulla, lullaby. Lulla, lullaby.
Sleep sweetly, sleep sweetly,
Let nothing affright ye,
In calm contentments lie.
