Lyrics of Purcell's masterpiece "Cold Song"

Cold song by Henry Purcell

From the semi-opera "King Arthur", 1691

Act 3, prélude and aria

What power art thou,

Who from below,

Hast made me rise,

Unwillingly and slow,

From beds of everlasting snow !

See'st thou not how stiff,

And wondrous old,

Far unfit to bear the bitter cold.

I can scarcely move,

Or draw my breath,

I can scarcely move,

Or draw my breath.

Let me, let me,

Let me,

Freeze again...

Let me, let me,

Freeze again to death !
