How now, everywhere up in air stars stare:
On the roof shines the moon.
Little bird in your nest, are you there?
Up, song, to her chamber go: say low, ‘Down below,
Thy love begs a boon.’
Little bird in your nest, are you there?

Sleep, sleep, for Love's sake let her wake,
Say, ‘Take no rest!’
Little bird in your nest, are you there?
Tame heart, take heat, go beat in the small sweet breast.

Little dove, bird of Love, are you there?
Hour of night, at her bower go beat: say, ‘Sweet, now rise!’
Time flies! O Love, are you there?
Undo and renew to the night the light of your bright blue eyes!
For the man in the moon is here.
Do you hear? He is here!
