Arise thou North-wind
View ArtistLyrics
Arise thou Northwind from the North And from the South, thou Southwind blow: Upon my Garden breath ye forth That to my spices (there I grow,) From thence abundantly may flow And to thy Garden come my Dear To eat thy fruits of pleasure there My Sister, and espoused Peer Unto my Garden I am come: My Spice I gather'd with my Myrrh: I ate my Honey in the Comb And drunk my Wine with Milk among Come Friends, and Best belov'd of me Come, eat, and drink, and merry be 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 Dear, My Love My Dove, my Spotless-Peer: For, with the Dew my Head is dight; My Locks with droppings of the Night I rose unto my Love to ope And from my Hands distilled Myrrh; Pure Myrrh did from my fingers drop Upon the handles of the Bar But, then departed was my Dear When by his Voice I knew 'twas he My heart was like to faint in me I sought; but seen he could not be: I call'd but heard no answer sound The City 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 tookeaway my Veil
