¶Lyrics / Text

1. Arise thou Northwinde from the North, And from the South, thou Southwind blow: Upon my Garden breath yee forth, That to my spices (there I growe,) From thence abundantly may flowe. And to thy Garden come my Deare, To eat thy fruits of pleasure there. 2. My Sister, and espoused Peere, Unto my Garden I am come: My Spice I gather'd with my Myrrhe: I ate my Hony in the Combe, And drunke my Wine with Milke among. Come Friends, and Bestbelov'd of me, Come, eate, and drinke, and merry be. 3. I slept, but yet my heart did wake: It is my Love I knocking hear: It was his Voice, and thus he spake: Come open unto me, my Deare, My Love, my Dove, my Spotlesse-Peere: For, with the Deaw my Head is dight; My Lockes with droppings of the Night. 5. I rose unto my Love to ope, And from my Hands distilled Myrrhe; Pure Myrrhe did from my fingers drop Upon the handles of the Barre. But, then departed was my Deare. When by his Voice I knew 'twas he, My heart was like to faint in me. 6. I sought; but seene he could not be: I call'd but heard no answer sound. The Citie Watchmen met with me, As they were walking of the Round, And gave me stripes that made a wound: Yea, they that watch and ward the Wall, Ev'n they have tooke away my Veyle.
