Weep Not Sad Fountains

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.
