Come Away, Come Sweet Love - John Dowland

Lyrics 1

Come away, come sweet love,

The golden morning breaks,

Teach thine arms then to embrace

And sweet rosy lips to kiss,

and mix our souls in mutual bliss

All the earth, all the air

Of love and pleasure speaks,

Eyes were made for beauty's grace,

Viewing, rueing love's long pains

Procured by beauty's rude disdain

Lyrics 2

Come away, come sweet love,

The golden morning wastes,

While the sun from his sphere

His fiery arrows casts,

Making all the shadows fly,

Playing, staying in the grove

To entertain the stealth of love.

Thither, sweet love, let us hie,

Flying, dying, in desire,

Wing'd with sweet hopes and heav'nly fire.

Lyrics 3

Come away, come sweet love,

Do not in vain adorn

Beauty's grace that should rise

Like to the naked morne.

Lilies on the river's side,

And fair Cyprian flowers new blown,

Desire no beauties but their own.

Ornament is nurse of pride.

Pleasure, measure love's delight;

Haste then, sweet love, our wished flight.
