Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Go, lovely rose!
Tell her that wastes her time and me,
That now she knows,
When I resemble her to thee,
How sweet and fair she seems to be.
[Verse 2]
Tell her that’s young,
And shuns to have her graces spied,
Graces spied,
That hadst thou sprung
In deserts where no men abide,
Thou must have uncommended died.
[Verse 3]
Small is the worth
Of beauty from the light retired;
Bid her come forth,
Suffer herself to be desired,
And not blush so to be admired.
[Verse 4]
Then die!
Then die!
That she
The common fate of all things rare
May read in thee;
How small a part of time they share,
That are so wondrous sweet and fair!
Written by: Edmund Waller, Eric Whitacre
