First Line: Come you, mary, there's a dear!

Subject(s): Courtship; Nature
COME you, Mary, there's a dear!
Mind no more the plaguy dairy!
Milk can never match your white—
Come you, Mary!
All the music of my scythe
Sang you in the heated meadow;
And I thought your shape behind
Every shadow!
Down with pails, and bring those lips
(Roseleaves in the happy dairy)
To the chestnut where we kiss—
Come you, Mary!
