<p id="id00470">Oh haste, my Sweet! Impatient now I wait,<br/>
The crescent moon swings low, it groweth late,<br/>
A night bird sings, of Life, and Love, and Fate!<br/></p>
<p id="id00471">Oh haste, my Sweet! Youth and its gladness goes,<br/>
Joy hath one summer time, like to the rose,<br/>
Love only lives through all the winter snows.<br/></p>
<p id="id00472">Then haste, my Sweet! These hours are all our own,<br/>
And see! A rose leaf on the night breeze blown!<br/>
For thee I wait—for thee I wait alone!<br/></p>
