[Give me the hour that puts to bed]
Give me the hour that puts to bed
The summers burning sun
Give [me] the spot where over head
The wood bine branches run
There leave me on the mossy seat
That nature does provide me
& leave me there the bliss so sweet
The maid I love beside me
The summers burning sun
Give [me] the spot where over head
The wood bine branches run
424
That nature does provide me
& leave me there the bliss so sweet
The maid I love beside me
& there my wish & my delight
To have in all compleated
To kiss my love till morning light
Then have the wish repeated
& ere the world was wide awake
Sun woud in bed remain
& sleep a sluggards wisht mistake
Till even came again
To have in all compleated
To kiss my love till morning light
Then have the wish repeated
& ere the world was wide awake
Sun woud in bed remain
& sleep a sluggards wisht mistake
Till even came again
