YOUR fair looks inflame my desire: Quench it again with love! Stay, O strive not still to retire: Do not inhuman prove! If love may persuade, Love's pleasures, dear, deny not. Here is a silent grovy shade; O tarry then, and fly not! Have I seized my heavenly delight In this unhaunted grove? Time shall now her fury requite With the revenge of love. Then come, sweetest, come, My lips with kisses gracing! Here let us harbour all alone, Die, die in sweet embracing! Will you now so timely depart, And not return again? Your sight lends such life to my heart That to depart is pain. Fear yields no delay, Secureness helpeth pleasure: Then, till the time gives safer stay, O farewell, my life's treasure! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LAMENT FOR CULLODEN by ROBERT BURNS THIRD BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 25 by THOMAS CAMPION A TIME TO TALK by ROBERT FROST TO - (3) by PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY PETER STUYVESANT'S NEW YEAR'S CALL, 1 JAN. 1661 by EDMUND CLARENCE STEDMAN |
