Hither, hither, love -

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.
