The Shepherd |
| Come live with me and be my love, |
| And we will all the pleasures prove. |
| That hills and valleys, dale and field, |
| And all the craggy mountains yield. |
| There we will sit upon the rocks |
| And see the shepherds feed their flocks, |
| By shallow rivers, to whose falls |
| Melodious birds sing madrigals. |
| There will I make a bed of rose |
| A thousand petals there I chose, |
| A cap of flowers, and a gown |
| Embroidered all with leaves surround. |
| A robe made of the finest wool |
| Which from enduring flocks we pull, |
| Fur lined to shield against the cold, |
| And raindrops of the purest gold. |
| Belts of straw and ivy buds |
| With coral clasps and amber studs: |
| And if these pleasures may thee move, |
| Come live with me and be my Love. |
| The shepherd swains shall dance and sing |
| For thy delight each May-morning: |
| If these delights thy mind may move, |
| Then live with me and be my Love. |
