| LII. "Pack, clouds, away, and welcome day" |
| |
| PACK, clouds, away, and welcome day, | |
| With night we banish sorrow; | |
| Sweet air blow soft, mount larks aloft | |
| To give my Love good-morrow! | |
| Wings from the wind to please her mind | 5 |
| Notes from the lark I'll borrow; | |
| Bird, prune thy wing, nightingale sing, | |
| To give my Love good-morrow; | |
| To give my Love good-morrow | |
| Notes from them both I'll borrow. | 10 |
| |
| Wake from thy nest, robin-red-breast, | |
| Sing, birds, in every furrow; | |
| And from each hill, let music shrill | |
| Give my fair Love good-morrow! | |
| Blackbird and thrush in every bush, | 15 |
| Stare, linnet, and cock-sparrow! | |
| You pretty elves, amongst yourselves | |
| Sing my fair Love good-morrow; | |
| To give my Love good-morrow | |
| Sing, birds, in every furrow! | 20 |
