O Mistress Mine – W Shakespeare

Filed under: Poetry — by cerene @ 8:28 pm

    O MISTRESS mine, where are you roaming?
    O stay and hear! your true-love’s coming
    That can sing both high and low;
    Trip no further, pretty sweeting,
    Journeys end in lovers’ meeting—
    Every wise man’s son doth know.

    What is love? ’tis not hereafter;
    Present mirth hath present laughter;
    What’s to come is still unsure:
    In delay there lies no plenty,—
    Then come kiss me, Sweet-and-twenty,
    Youth’s a stuff will not endure.
