come again





Come again,
sweet love doth now invite,
thy graces that refrain
to do me due delight
To see, to hear,
to touch, to kiss,
to die with thee again
in sweetest sympathy

Come again,
that I may cease to mourn
through thy unkind disdain
for now left and forlorn
I sit, I sigh,
I weep, I faint,
I die, in deadly pain
and endless misery

Gentle love,
draw forth thy wounding dart:
Thou canst not pierce her heart;
For I that do approve
By sighs an d tears
more hot than are
thy shafts, did tempt while she
for scanty tryumphs laughs

 
Johnn Dowland ( 1563 - 1626 )
