Which yesterday seemed such a foolish thing?

Love lies a-sleeping: nay, for such a thing

Break not his slumber. See how sweetly goes

That smile across his lips, that will not sing

For very wilfulness. Love hath no heart!

If he should wake, these red-ripe lips would part

In laughter low to see this ravished rose.

Love lies a-sleeping: so the full-blown rose

Falls to the earth a dead unpitied thing;

The grasses ’neath the breeze deep-sighing part
