O MISTRESS MINE

...BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

 

 

 

O mistress mine, where are you roaming?

 

O, stay and hear, your true love's coming,

 

That can sing both high and low:

 

Trip no further, pretty sweeting,

 

Journeys end in lovers meeting,

 

Every wise man's son doth know.

 

What is love? 'Tis not hereafter;

 

Present mirth hath present laughter;

 

What's to come is still unsure:

 

In delay there lies no plenty;

 

Then come kiss me, sweet and twenty,

 

Youth's a stuff will not endure.
