O Mistress Mine Lyrics - Seven Sonnets And A Song - Paul Kelly

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.
