I wait for a ship ...

I'm listening to John Dowland's Melancholy Galliard -

I picture myself wearing black velvet - 

I see my face in a cobwebbed mirror - 

I hold an hourglass in my hand - 

I watch the sand fall - 

I hear sad viols in a long gallery - 

I wait for a ship to the edge of the world -
