Scope and content
Song for tenor and piano or organ. Lyrics: poem by A. E. Housman (1859–1936), taken from "A Shropshire Lad" (1896) "With rue my heart is laden". Key: G major.
On the reverse there is a draft of a song for voice and keyboard in ink containing lyrics, and at the end five bars written in pencil with a comment that reads: Dowland "I saw my lady weep" "English Ayres" (although the bars do not seem to be related with Dowland's piece).
