“O let me weep“, purcell

“O let me weep“ is a slow, beutiful and sorrowful aria sung by Titania at the end of “The Fairy Queen“ by Purcell. All the explanations about it are given by the performer, Yvonne Kenny, before the video of this aria. “O let me weep, for ever weep, My Eyes no more shall welcome Sleep; I’ll hide me from the sight of Day, And sigh, and sigh my Soul away. He’s gone, he’s gone, his loss deplore; And I shall never see him more.“ recorded in 1995
