Lyrics: James Thomson

Come, dear Amanda, quit the town,
And to the rural hamlets fly;
Behold, the wint'ry storms are gone;
A gentle radiance glads the sky.

Come, let us mark the gradual Spring.
How peeps the bud, the blossom blows;
Till Philomel begin to sing,
And perfect May to swell the rose.

Let us secure the short delight,
And wisely crop the blooming day;
For soon, too soon, it will be night:
Arise, my love, and come away.
