AD ASTRA: 60 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: AWAKE, MY LOVE, THE MORN IS NEWLY DREST!
Last Line: AS FROM THY LIPS THEY TAKE THEIR SWEET SUPPLIES.'
Subject(s): HEARTS; KISSES; LOVE;

'Awake, my Love, the morn is newly drest!
Awake, and meet thy lover on the lea!
How cold and drear, till thou dost leave thy nest!
How bright the sunshine that awakes with thee!
For when thou goest abroad 'tis told to me—
The very winds are richer for thy sighs,
As from thy lips they take their sweet supplies.'
