The Linnet (1819, Falkirk)/The Lover's Summons

​

THE LOVER's SUMMONS.

Arise thou sovereign of my heart,
and do not me disdain
Come now and quickly take a part
with me your conquer'd swain.

To you alone I am a slave,
there's none on earth can cure
The flame that in my breast I have,
for you I do endure.

Come now, dear nymph and ease the heart
of me your darling swain;
My love for you within my heart,
does constantly remain.

Now we in Hymen's bauds will wed,
our hearts united more;
In love live without any dread,
and joys for evermore.
