Poems

Rose-cheeked Laura, come,
Sing thou smoothly with thy beauty's
Silent music, either other
......Sweetly gracing.

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

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

But still moves delight,
Like clear springs renewed by flowing,
Ever perfect, ever in them-
......Selves eternal.

.....Rose-Cheeked Laura by Thomas Campion
