Haste on, my joys! Lyrics by Gerald Finzi

Seven Unaccompanied Part Songs

0

Haste on, my joys! your treasure lies
In swift, unceasing flight
O haste: for while your beauty flies
I seize your full delight
Lo! I have seen the scented flower
Whose tender stems I cull
For her brief date and meted hour
Appear more beautiful
O youth, O strength, O most divine
For that so short ye prove;
Were but your rare gifts longer mine
Ye scarce would win my love
Nay, life itself the heart would spurn
Did once the days restore
The days, that once enjoyed return
Return, ah! nevermore
