ANNE BOLEYN’S SONG.—A chorister, accompanied by a lute player, singing “0 Death, Rock Me Asleep,” beside the tomb of Anne Boleyn, one of the wives of King Henry VIII, in the Tower of London's Chapel Royal of St. Peter ad Vincula. The song, believed to have been written by the Queen while awaiting execution in the Tower, was performed as part of a recital of Royal music when an appeal was launched for £30,000 to start a choral foundation for the ancient chapel.
