SONG, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Come when I call, or tarry till I come
Last Line: And love, till we die.
Subject(s): Happiness; Joy; Delight


COME when I call, or tarry till I come:
If you be deaf, I must prove dumb:
If thy desire ever knew the grief of delay,
No danger could stand in thy way.
What need we languish? can love quickly fly?
Fear ever hurts more than jealousy.
Then securely envy scorning,
Let us end with joy our mourning,
Jealousy still defy,
And love, till we die.
