who's this, that leaning on her friend - orlando gibbons lyrics

Loading...

who’s this, that leaning on her friend
doth from the wildernesse ascend?
minde how i raised thee
ev’n where thy mother thee conciev’d
(where she that brought thee forth concievd,)
beneath an appletree

me in thy hart, engraven beare
and sealelike on thy handwrist weare:
for, love is strong as death;
fierce as the grave is jealousie:
the coales thereof doe burning lye;
and furious flames it hath

if that a wall she doe appeare
we turrets upon her will reare
and pallaces of plate;
and then with boords of cedarthee enclose
and fence her in will we
if that she be a gate

a wall already built i am;
and now my br**sts upon the same
do turretlike, arise:
since when, as one that findeth rest
(and is of setled peace possest)
i seemed in his eyes
thou, whose abode the gardens are
(thy fellowes unto thee give eare)
cause me to heare thy voyce;
and let my love as swiftly goe
as doth a hart or nimble roe
upon the hills of spice
