    "Come Little Children" from Hocus Pocus fits the music almost perfectly I've always thought. I always cry in the last act of Othello so I think of this whenever I reread the play lol

    Oh in class we covered Othello for a month or so. Today I have taken the final exam. There was that question about this scene. I wanted to listen to your beautiful performance once more( I had already listened to it as I was preparing for the exam). But this time, after the final exam... In the silence of my room, I closed the online exam page. This time at the end of the whole thing... I mean it'll sound strange but I loved that class and the people so much even though we see each other only through screens. And as I was saying my farewell to something I loved this much, listening to this performance... I do not know this time it felt very strange! I got extremely emotional. I want to thank you for giving me this feeling. You made me cry out of some peaceful sadness, so strange! You are amazing, your voice, your performance... All amazing! It reached a deep core in me. Thank you soooo muuuuch!!!!

    The poor soul sat sighing
    By a sycamore tree,
    Sing willow, willow, willow,
    Wth his hand in his bosom
    And his head upon his knee,
    Oh, willow, willow, willow,
    Shall be my garland.
    Sing all a green willow,
    Aye me, the green willow
    Must be my garland.
    He sighed in his singing
    And made a great moan,
    Sing, etc.
    I am dead to all pleasure,
    My true love he is gone, etc.
    The mute bird sat by him
    Was made tame by his moans, etc.
    The true tears fell from him
    Would have melted the stones.
    Sing etc.
    Come all you forsaken
    And mourn you wth me.
    Who speaks of a false love?
    Mine's falser than she.
    Sing etc.
    Let Love no more boast her
    In palace nor bower;
    It buds but it blasteth
    Ere it be a flower.
    Sing etc.
    Thou fair and more false,
    I die with thy wound.
    Thou hast lost thy truest lover
    That goes upon the ground.
    Sing [etc.]
    Let nobody chide her,
    Her scorns I approve.
    She was born to be false
    And I to die for love.
    Sing etc.
    Take this for my farewell
    And latest adieu;
    Write this on my tomb
    That in love I was true.
    Sing etc.

    Lyrics (as best that I can surmise) :
    The poor soul sat sighing by a sycamore tree
    Singing willow, willow, willow, willow
    Her hand in her bosom, her head on her knee
    Oh willow, willow, willow, willow
    She sighed in her singing and made a great moan
    Singing willow, willow, willow, willow
    I'm dead to all pleasure, my true love is gone
    Oh willow, willow, willow shall be my garland
    The fresh streams ran by her and murmured her moans
    Singing willow, willow, willow, willow
    Her salt tears fell from her, and soften'd the stones
    Oh willow, willow, willow, willow
    Come all you forsaken and mourn you with me
    Singing willow, willow, willow, willow
    Who speaks of a false love, mine's falser than he
    Oh willow, willow, willow, shall be my garland
    Let love (know/no?) more boast in her palace nor her bower
    Oh willow, willow, willow, willow
    It burns but it blesseth (an enemy/in envy?) of love
    Singing willow, willow, willow, willow
    Though fair and more false, I die with thy wound
    Singing willow, willow, willow, willow
    Thou has lost the truest lover that goes upon ground
    Oh willow, willow, willow, shall be my garland
    Let nobody chide him, his scorns I approve
    Singing willow, willow, willow, willow
    He was born to be falsed and I for his love
    Oh willow, willow, willow, willow
    Take this for my farewell, and (lain?) as the dew
    Singing willow, willow, willow, willow
    Write this on my tomb, that in love I was true
    Oh willow, willow, willow, shall be my garland

    Sara. I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to you from a province in Panama, and I would like to express my utmost admiration for the wonderful work you have created. Your compositions have touched the hearts of many, and we are truly grateful for your talent.
    In my daughter's school, we are preparing to celebrate English Week in honor of the great playwright, Shakespeare. As part of the festivities, we have chosen one of your beautiful songs to perform. However, we are in need of the violin and viola arrangements to bring this musical piece to life.
    I understand that your schedule is likely busy, but if it is within your capacity, we would greatly appreciate it if you could kindly provide us with the sheet music for the violin and viola arrangements. Your contribution would make a significant difference in our performance, and we believe it would be a fitting tribute to both your artistry and the spirit of English Week.
    Thank you for considering our request, and please accept my sincere congratulations on your remarkable achievements. Your compositions have the power to inspire and uplift, and we are honored to have the opportunity to showcase your work in our school's celebration.
    We eagerly await your response and remain grateful for your kind support.

    Beautiful! As a traditional Catholic, and having read the tragedies recently, I can say there is a constant Christian layer that threads its way through all, but I think many in our de-Christian one’s world will never pick up on. This song even is part of that thread - the sycamore and willow have strong theological symbolic meaning
