Fun Facts:
1) Roger Quilter composed this song as the second in a cycle called "Seven Elizabethan Lyrics."
2) The lyrics and title came from a Thomas Campion poem.
"Come, o come, my life?s delight!
Let me not in languor pine:
Love loves no delay, they sight.
The more enjoyed, the more divine.
O come and take from me
The pain of being deprived of thee.
Thou all sweetness dost enclose,
Like a little world of bliss:
Beauty guards they looks: The rose
In them pure and eternal is.
Come then! And make they flight
As swift to me as heavenly light!"
