John Fletcher Spring Poems
- 1. Love's Emblems
NOW the lusty spring is seen;
Golden yellow, gaudy blue,
Daintily invite the view:
Everywhere on every green
... - 2. Hymn To Pan
SING his praises that doth keep
Our flocks from harm.
Pan, the father of our sheep;
And arm in arm
... - 3. The Faithful Shepherdess (monologue)
Through yon same bending plain,
That flings his arms down to the main,
And through these thick woods have I run,
Whose bottom never kissed the sun
... - 4. To Venus
Oh, fair sweet goddess, queen of love,
Soft and gentle as thy doves,
Humble-eyed, and ever ruing
Those poor hearts, their loves pursuing!
... - 5. The Power Of Music
Orpheus with his lute made trees,
And the mountain-tops that freeze,
Bow themselves when he did sing:
To his music plants and flowers
... - 6. Sing His Praises That Doth Keep
Sing his praises that doth keep
Our flocks from harm,
Pan, the father of our sheep;
And arm in arm
... - 7. Now The Lusty Spring Is Seen
Now the lusty spring is seen;
Golden hellow, gaudy blue,
Daintily invite the view.
Everywhere on every green,
...
