WHAT then is love but mourning? What desire, but a self-burning? Till she, that hates, doth love return, Thus will I mourn, thus will I sing, 'Come away! come away, my darling!' Beauty is but a blooming, Youth in his glory entombing; Time hath a while, which none can stay: Then come away, while thus I sing, 'Come away! come away, my darling!' Summer in winter fadeth; Gloomy night heavenly light shadeth: Like to the morn, are Venus' flowers; Such are her hours: then will I sing, 'Come away! come away, my darling!' | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CRY GOING OUT OVER PASTURES by ROBERT BLY AND KNEELING AT THE EDGE OF THE TRANSPARENT SEA I SHALL SHAPE FOR ... by ANNE CARSON THE GLASS ESSAY by ANNE CARSON AMONG MY FRIENDS LOVE IS A GREAT SORROW by ROBERT DUNCAN CHOSEN BY THE LION by LINDA GREGG THE SMALL THING LOVE IS by LINDA GREGG ADVISING MYSELF by PHILIP LEVINE A BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 9 by THOMAS CAMPION |
