Hither, hither, love-
'Tis a shady mead-
Hither, hither, love,
Let us feed and feed!
Hither, hither, sweet -
'Tis a cowslip bed-
Hither, hither, sweet!
'Tis with dew bedspread!
Hither, hither, dear -
By the breath of life -
Hither, hither, dear!
Be the summer's wife!
Though one moment's pleasure
In one moment flies,
Though the passion's treasure
In one moment dies;
Yet it has not passed -
Think how near, how near! -
And while it doth last,
Think how dear, how dear!
Hither, hither, hither
Love this boon has sent -
If i die and wither
I shall die content.
