by Thomas Heywood (?1574 - 1641)
Love's good morrow
Language: English
Back, clouds, away! And welcome day! With night we'll banish sorrow. Sweet air, blow soft; Mount, lark, aloft! To bid my love good morrow! Wings from the wind To please her mind, Notes from the lark I'll borrow; Bird, plume thy wing, O! linnet, sing To bid my love good morrow! Wake from thy nest, Thou sweet redbreast. Sing, birds, in every furrow, And from each hill Let music shrill, Bid my fair love good morrow! Each lark and thrush on every bush, Stare, linnet and cock sparrow, You pretty elves Among yourselves Sing my fair love good morrow!
