Lyrics: Anon
O say, dear life, when shall these twin-born berries
So lovely ripe, by my rude lips be tasted?
Shall I not pluck (Sweet say not nay) those cherries?
O let them not with summer's heat be blasted.
Nature, thou know'st, bestowed them free on thee;
Then be thou kind, bestow them free on me.
O say, dear life, when shall these twin-born berries
So lovely ripe, by my rude lips be tasted?
Shall I not pluck (Sweet say not nay) those cherries?
O let them not with summer's heat be blasted.
Nature, thou know'st, bestowed them free on thee;
Then be thou kind, bestow them free on me.
