As ye came from the holy landA
Of WalsinghameB
Met you not with my true loveC
By the way as you cameB
-
How should I know your true loveC
That have met many a oneD
As I came from the holy landA
That have come that have goneE
-
She is neither white nor brownF
But as the heavens fairG
There is none hath her form divineH
In the earth or the airG
-
Such a one did I meet good sirI
Such an angelic faceJ
Who like a nymph like a queen did appearK
In her gait in her graceJ
-
She hath left me here aloneL
All alone as unknownL
Who sometime did me lead with herselfM
And me loved as her ownL
-
What 's the cause that she leaves you aloneL
And a new way doth takeN
That sometime did love you as her ownL
And her joy did you makeN
-
I have loved her all my youthO
But now am old as you seeP
Love likes not the falling fruitQ
Nor the withered treeP
-
Know that Love is a careless childR
And forgets promise pastS
He is blind he is deaf when he listT
And in faith never fastS
-
His desire is a dureless contentU
And a trustless joyV
He is won with a world of despairG
And is lost with a toyV
-
Of womenkind such indeed is the loveC
Or the word love abus egrave dP
Under which many childish desiresW
And conceits are excus egrave dP
-
But true love is a durable fireI
In the mind ever burningX
Never sick never dead never coldY
From itself never turningX
