Lyrics from Hamlet Act 4 Scene 5

For an audition the women were asked to read Hamlet and the gents were given Ophelia - this was my chosen audition side, which I set to music partly to help with learning the piece.

lyrics

There's rosemary, that's for rememberance. Pray you love,
Remember. And there is pansies, that's for thoughts.
There's fennel for you, and columbines.
There's rue for you and here's some for me
We may call it herb of grace o'Sundays.
Oh you must wear your rue with a difference!
There's a daisy
I would give you some violets but they withered all
When my father died. They say he made a good end.
For bonny sweet Robin is all my joy
And will he not come again?
And will he not come again?
No no, he is dead. Go to thy deathbed,
He never will come again.
His beard was as white as snow
All flaxen was his poll
He is gone
He is gone
And we cast away moan
God a'mercy on his soul
And of all Christian souls I pray God
God b'wi'you
