Who loves to lie with me,
And turn his merry note
Unto the sweet bird’s throat,
Come hither, come hither, come hither!
Here shall he see
No enemy
But winter and rough weather.”

The wise expect, the sorrowful invite,
And all the good embrace, who know the grave
A short dark passage to eternal light.”
