Canst thou love and lie alone? | |||
Love is so disgraced, | |||
Pleasure is best | |||
Wherein is rest | |||
In a heart embraced. | |||
Rise, rise, rise! | |||
Daylight do not burn out; | |||
Bells do ring and birds do sing, | |||
Only I that mourn out. | |||
Morning-star doth now appear, | |||
Wind is hushed and sky is clear; | |||
Come, come away, come, come away! | |||
Canst thou love and burn out day? | |||
Rise, rise, rise! | |||
Daylight do not burn out; | |||
Bells do ring, birds do sing, | |||
Only I that mourn out. | |||

Canst thou love and lie alone?
Love is so disgraced,
Pleasure is best
Wherein is rest
In a heart embraced.
Rise, rise, rise!
Daylight do not burn out;
Bells do ring and birds do sing,
Only I that mourn out.
Morning-star doth now appear,
Wind is hushed and sky is clear;
Come, come away, come, come away!
Canst thou love and burn out day?
Rise, rise, rise!
Daylight do not burn out;
Bells do ring, birds do sing,
Only I that mourn out.
