Wallenstein - Shakespearesque lyrics

How like a winter has my absence been From you the pleasure of the fleeting year What freezings have I felt, what dark days seen What cold Decembers bearness everywhere And yet the time we met was summertime The teeming autumn big with which increase Bearing the wanted burden of the prime Like widows wombs after their lords disease Yet this abundant issue seemed to me As hope of orphans and unfathered fruit For summer and this pleasure wait for you Away the very birds are mute Or if they sing it with so dull a cheer la-la-la Or if they sing it with so dull a cheer That leave looks pale dreading winters near Or if they sing it with so dull a cheer la-la-la Or if they sing it with so dull a cheer That leave looks pale dreading winters near
