orlando gibbons - arise thou north-wind lyrics

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
