With darkness deep as is my woe (Handel) Lorraine Hunt Lieberson

Lorraine Hunt Lieberson, mezzo-soprano

With darkness deep as is my woe,
Hide me, ye shades of night.
Your thickest veil around me throw,
Concealed from human sight.
Or come, thou death, thy victim save,
Kindly embosomed in the grave.
