Yet another of my favorite scenes from Sense & Sensibility:
The words to the song "Weep You No More Sad Fountains"
Weep you no more sad fountains
What nees you flow so fast?
Look haw the snowy mountains
Heaven's sun doth gently waste
But my sun's heavenly eyes
View not your weeping
That now lies sleeping
Softly, softly, now softly
Softly lies sleeping
Sleep is a reconciling
A rest that peace begets
Doth not the sun rise smiling
When fair at ev'n he sets?
Rest you then, rest, sad eyes
Melt not in weeping
While she lies sleeping
Softly, softly, now softly
Softly lies sleeping
