Слушать(AI)The Primrose
Ask me why I send you
The firstling of the infant year;
Ask me why I send to
This primrose all bepearled with dew:
I straight will whisper in your ears,
The sweets of love are washed with tears.
Ask me why this flower doth
So yellow, green, and sickly too;
Ask me why the stalk is
And bending, yet it doth not break:
I must tell you, these
What doubts and fears are in a lover.
Thomas Carew
Thomas Carew (pronounced as "Carey"[1]) (1595 – 22 March 1640) was an English poet, among the 'Cavalier' group of Caroline poets.
