Join mates in mirth to me, Grant pleasure to our meeting; Let Pan, our good god, see How grateful is our greeting. Join hearts and hands, so let it be, Make but one mind in bodies three. Ye hymns and singing skill Of god Apollo's giving, Be prest our reeds to fill With sound of music living. Join hearts and hands, so let it be, Make but one mind in bodies three. Sweet Orpheus' harp, whose sound The steadfast mountains moved, Let here thy skill abound, To join sweet friends beloved. Join hearts and hands, so let it be, Make but one mind in bodies three. My two and I be met, A happy blessed trinity, As three most jointly set In firmest band of unity. Join hearts and hands, so let it be, Make but one mind in bodies three. Welcome, my two, to me, E.D. F.G. P.S. The number best beloved, Within my heart you be In friendship unremoved. Join hearts and hands, so let it be, Make but one mind in bodies three. Give leave your flocks to range, Let us the while be playing, Within the elmy grange Your flocks will not be straying. Join hearts and hands, so let it be, Make but one mind in bodies three. Cause all the mirth you can, Since I am now come hether, Who never joy, but when I am with you together. Join hearts and hands, so let it be, Make but one mind in bodies three. Like lovers do their love, So joy I in you seeing; Let nothing me remove From always with you being. Join hearts and hands, so let it be, Make but one mind in bodies three. And as the turtle dove To mate with whom he liveth, Such comfort fervent love Of you to my heart giveth. Join hearts and hands, so let it be, Make but one mind in bodies three. Now joined be our hands, Let them be ne'er asunder, But linked in binding bands By metamorphosed wonder. So should our severed bodies three As one forever joined be. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ENVY OF OTHER PEOPLE'S POEMS by ROBERT HASS THE NINETEENTH CENTURY AS A SONG by ROBERT HASS THE FATALIST: TIME IS FILLED by LYN HEJINIAN OXOTA: A SHORT RUSSIAN NOVEL: CHAPTER 192 by LYN HEJINIAN LET ME TELL YOU WHAT A POEM BRINGS by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA JUNE JOURNALS 6/25/88 by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA FOLLOW ROZEWICZ by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA HAVING INTENDED TO MERELY PICK ON AN OIL COMPANY, THE POEM GOES AWRY by HICOK.
