Come, come, my Love, the morning waits,
What magic now shall greet our sight!
What butterflies
Before our eyes
Shall vanish in the open light!
Come, while the Sun has power to strike
Our household fires all dead and cold!
How softly now
The wind can blow -
When carrying off a field of gold!
Come, when behind some leafy hedge
We'll see a snow-white, new-born lamb
No man has set
His eyes on yet -
Where it lies sleeping near its dam.
Come, come, my Love, the morning waits,
The Sun is high, the dew has gone!
The air's as bright
As though the light
Of twelve May mornings came in one.
