Slow, slow, fresh fount, keep time with my salt tears;
Slow, slow, fresh fount, keep time with my salt tears;
Yet slower, yet ; O faintly gentle springs:
    Yet slower, yet ; O faintly gentle springs:
List to the heavy part the music bears,
List to the heavy part the music bears,
Woe weeps out her division, when she sings.
    Woe weeps out her division, when she sings.
  Droop herbs and flowers;
          Droop herbs and flowers;
  Fall grief in showers;
          Fall grief in showers;
  Our beauties are not ours;
          Our beauties are not ours;
  O, I could still,
            O, I could still,
Like melting snow upon some craggy hill,
Like melting snow upon some craggy hill,
  Drop, drop, drop, drop,
          Drop, drop, drop, drop,
Since nature's pride is, now, a withered daffodil.  
Since nature's pride is, now, a withered daffodil.

Slow, Slow, Fresh Fount

Slow, slow, fresh fount, keep time with my salt tears;
    Yet slower, yet ; O faintly gentle springs:
List to the heavy part the music bears,
    Woe weeps out her division, when she sings.
          Droop herbs and flowers;
          Fall grief in showers;
          Our beauties are not ours;
             O, I could still,
Like melting snow upon some craggy hill,
          Drop, drop, drop, drop,
Since nature's pride is, now, a withered daffodil.
