John Fletcher Young Poems
- 1. God Lyaeus
GOD Lyaeus, ever young,
Ever honour'd, ever sung,
Stain'd with blood of lusty grapes,
In a thousand lusty shapes
... - 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. 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
... - 4. Hold Back Thy Hours
Hold back thy hours, dark Night, till we have done;
The Day will come too soon;
Young maids will curse thee, if thou steal'st away
And leav'st their losses open to the day:
... - 5. God Lyæus, Ever Young
God Lyæus, ever young,
Ever honored, ever sung,
Stained with blood of lusty grapes,
In a thousand lusty shapes,
...
