the pigeon song - arthur bliss lyrics

little pigeon, grave and fleet
eye*of*fire, sweet snowy*wings
think you that you can discover
on what great green down my lover
lies by his sunny sheep and sings?

if you can, o go and greet
him from me; say she is waiting …
not for him. o no! but, sweet
say june’s nigh and doves, re*mating
fill the dancing noontide heat
with melodious debating

say the swift swoops from the beam;
soon the cuckoo must cease calling;
kingcups flare beside the stream
that not glides now, but runs brawling;
that wet roses are asteam
in the sun and will be falling

say the chestnut sheds his bloom;
honey from straw hivings oozes;
thеre’s a nightjar in the coombe;
vеnus nightly burns, and chooses
most to blaze above my room;
that the laggard ’tis that loses
say the nights are warm and free
and the great stars swarm above him;
but soon starless night must be
yet if all these do not move him
tell o tell ** but not too plainly! **
that i long for him and love him
