Interesting Album Front-Ranger
I decided to see if I could find it online and there it was
I downloaded the mp3 version and One track was
Come Heavy Sheep.mp3
Ah Ha I said - a Brokeback song from the 1600s
but I soon discovered that the song is actually
Come Heavy Sleep. from 1597
Come heavy sleep, the image of true death;
and close up these my weary weeping eies:
Whose spring of tears doth stop my vitall breath,
and tears my hart with sorrows sign swoln cries:
Com and possess my tired thoughts, worne soule,
That living dies, till thou on me be stoule.
Com and possess my tired thoughts, worne soule,
That living dies, till thou on me be stoule.
Come shape of rest, and shadow of my end
Allied to death, child to blakefact night:
Come thou and charm these rebels in my breast,
Whose waking fancies doe my mind affright.
O come sweet sleepe; come, or I die forever:
Come ere my last sleep comes, or come never.
Interesting album, not a rock album by any stretch of the imagination.
but if you let it take you back to Elizabethan England, quite cool.
Thanks Lee for a different bit of music.
