WHAT then is love but mourning? What desire, but a self-burning? Till she, that hates, doth love return, Thus will I mourn, thus will I sing, 'Come away! come away, my darling!' Beauty is but a blooming, Youth in his glory entombing; Time hath a while, which none can stay: Then come away, while thus I sing, 'Come away! come away, my darling!' Summer in winter fadeth; Gloomy night heavenly light shadeth: Like to the morn, are Venus' flowers; Such are her hours: then will I sing, 'Come away! come away, my darling!' | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CRY GOING OUT OVER PASTURES by ROBERT BLY AND KNEELING AT THE EDGE OF THE TRANSPARENT SEA I SHALL SHAPE FOR ... by ANNE CARSON THE GLASS ESSAY by ANNE CARSON AMONG MY FRIENDS LOVE IS A GREAT SORROW by ROBERT DUNCAN CHOSEN BY THE LION by LINDA GREGG THE SMALL THING LOVE IS by LINDA GREGG ADVISING MYSELF by PHILIP LEVINE LANCELOT WITH BICYCLE by PHYLLIS MCGINLEY A BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 9 by THOMAS CAMPION |
