This is a piece, for a soprano voice,
from dido and aeneas, an opera composed by henry purcell
in 1681. jeff performed it live in his exhibition at
meltdown festival, london, on july 1 1995.
Thy hand, belinda, darkness shades me.
On thy bosom let me rest.Jeff Buckley - Dido's Lament - http://motolyrics.com/jeff-buckley/didos-lament-lyrics.html
More I would, but death invades me.
Death is now a welcome guest.

When I am laid in earth, may my wrongs create
No trouble in thy breast.
Remember me, but ah! forget my fate.
