Batter My Heart - Benjamin Britten/Peter Pears

Written by：Benjamin Britten

Batter my heart three person'd god for you

As yet but knocke breathe shine and seeke to mend

That I may rise and stand o'erthrow me and bend

Your force to breake blowe burn and make me new

I like an usurpt towne to another due

Labour to admit you but oh to no end

Reason your viceroy in mee mee should defend

But is captiv'd and proves weake or untrue

Yet dearely I love you and would be loved faine

But am betroth'd unto your enemie

Divorce mee untie or breake that knot againe

Take mee to you imprison mee for I

Except you enthrall mee never shall be free

Nor ever chaste except you ravish m
