emma lou diemer – take, o take those lips away lyrics

take, o take those lips away
that so sweetly were forsworn;
and those eyes, the break of day
lights that do mislead the morn:
but my kisses bring again;
seals of love, but seal’d in vain, sealed in vain

hide, o hide those hills of snow
that thy frozen bosom wears
on whose tops the pinks that grow
are yet of those that april wears;
but first set my poor heart free
bound in those icy chains by thee
