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 bespread!

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 its boon has sent--If I die and wither
I shall die content!
