Come, oh, come, my life's delight, Let me not in languor pine! Love loves no delay; The more enjoyed the more divine: Oh, come, and take from me The pain of being deprived of thee!

Come then, and make thy flight As swift to me as heavenly light! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE RED TURTLENECK by KAREN SWENSON THE WILLING MISTRESS by APHRA BEHN FOURTH BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 18 by THOMAS CAMPION THIRD BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 18.
