Poem : Rose-cheeked Laura

Poet : Thomas Campion

1       Rose-cheek'd Laura, come,
2     Sing thou smoothly with thy beauty's
3     Silent music, either other
4           Sweetly gracing.

5       Lovely forms do flow
6     From concent divinely framed;
7     Heav'n is music, and thy beauty's
8           Birth is heavenly.

9       These dull notes we sing
10   Discords need for helps to grace them;
11   Only beauty purely loving
12         Knows no discord,

13   But still moves delight,
14   Like clear springs renew'd by flowing,
15   Ever perfect, ever in them-
16         Selves eternal.
