"Soft you day, be velvet soft, My true love approaches, Look you bright, you dusty sun, Array your golden coaches. Soft you wind, be soft as silk My true love is speaking. Hold you birds, your silver throats, His golden voice I'm seeking."
"Come you death, in haste, do come My shroud of black be weaving, Quiet my heart, be deathly quiet, My true love is leaving." These lines explore themes of love, longing, and the inevitable departure brought by death. The poet uses gentle and vivid imagery to convey deep emotions about the transient nature of love and life.
