How Many Separated Lovers

Air de cour by Michel Lambert Collection Airs for one, II, III & IV partsThemes LovePeriod 17th century

How many separated Lovers languish night & day,
What sighs one hears, what tears one sees flow:
Alas! Alas! if glory has its charms,
Are they worth all the woes that Love must pay?

Too happy the absent ones assured of return,
And who are sheltered from the fury of arms:
Alas! alas! if glory has its charms,
Are they worth all the woes that Love must pay?

Michel Lambert
