That lie by one anothers side!
O fie upon the virgin beds,
No loss is gain but maidenheads.
Love quickly send the time may be
When I shall deal my rosemary!

Quand vous me montrez une rose
Qui s'épanouit sous l'azur,
Pourquoi suis-je alors plus morose?

Our cites streets despise the parish poor.

Clear stream that sets the long green leaves astir.
The very doves that dream beside the pool
Sang their soft notes to her.

by a cloud at sea.
I heard this song from his friends,
one lurid yellow evening on the Pacific.

My heart, my soul, and mind, begins to bend

Sleepy with the flow of streams,
Far I hear the steady drummer
Drumming like a noise in dreams.
