C E F E7
Weep you no more, sad fountains;
Am F
What need you flow so fast?
E7 Am
Look how the snowy mountains
E E7 F
Heaven’s sun doth gently waste.
A Dm A Dm
But my sun’s heavenly eyes
G C
View not your weeping,
G C
That now lie sleeping
E Am
Softly, Softly,
G G7
now softly, softly lies
C
Sleeping.
[verse 2]
E F E7
Sle---ep is a reconciling,
Am F
A rest that peace begets.
E7 Am
Doth not the sun rise smiling
E E7 F
When fair at even he sets?
A Dm A Dm
Rest you then, rest, sad eyes,
G C
Melt not in weeping
G C
While she lies sleeping
E Am
Softly, Softly,
C
now softly
G G7 C
Softly lies Sleeping.
