¶Liedtext

:I got me flowers to strew thy way; :I got me boughs off many a tree: :But thou wast up by break of day, :And brought'st thy sweets along with thee. :The Sun arising in the East, :Though he give light, and the East perfume; :If they should offer to contest :With thy arising, they presume. :Can there be any day but this, :Though many suns to shine endeavour? :We count three hundred, but we miss: :There is but one, and that one ever. :'''''Lyrics: George Herbert (1593-1633), "I Got Me Flowers", from "The Temple: Sacred Poems and Private Ejaculations", published 1633.''
