Thomas Carew (1595?1639?)Celia Singing
Y
No other way,
But through the eyes, into the heart,
His fatal dart,
Close up those casements and but hear
This siren sing,
And on the wing
Of her sweet voice it shall appear
That love can enter at the ear.
The curious mould
Where that voice dwells, and as we know,
When the cocks crow,
We freely may
Gaze on the day,
So may you, when the music ’s done,
Awake and see the rising sun.
