Song -

TURN, TURN THY BEAUTEOUS FACE AWAY

Turn, turn thy beauteous face away,
How pale and sickly looks the day,
In emulation of thy brighter beams!
Oh envious light, fly, fly, begone,

Come night, and piece two breasts as one;
When what love does, we will repeat in dreams.
Yet (thy eyes open) who can day hence fright,
Let but their lids fall, and it will be night.

TURN, TURN THY BEAUTEOUS FACE AWAY

Turn, turn thy beauteous face away,
How pale and sickly looks the day,
In emulation of thy brighter beams!
Oh envious light, fly, fly, begone,

Come night, and piece two breasts as one;
When what love does, we will repeat in dreams.
Yet (thy eyes open) who can day hence fright,
Let but their lids fall, and it will be night.
