by Fritz Bennicke Hart (1874 - 1949)

1. Upon her feet  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: English 
Her pretty feet
Like snails did creep
A little out, and then,
As if they played at Bo-Peep,
Did soon draw in again.

3. To sycamores  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: English 
I'm sick of love: O let me lie
Under your shades to sleep or die!
Either is welcome, so here I have
Or here my bed, or here my grave.
Why do ye sigh, and sob, and keep
Time with the tears that I do weep?
Can ye have sense, or do ye prove
What crucifixions are in love?
I know ye do, and that's the why
Ye weep, being sick of love as I.

4. Chop‑cherry  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: English 
Thou gav'st me leave to kiss;
Thou gav'st me leave to woo;
Thou mad'st me think by this 
And that, thou lov'dst me too.
But I shall ne'er forget,
How, for to make thee merry,
Thou mad'st me chop, but yet,
Another snapt the cherry.

5. To daisies, not to shut so soon  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: English 
Shut not so soon; the dull-eyed night
Has not as yet begun
To make a seizure on the light,
Or to seal up the sun.

No marigolds yet closed are;
No shadows great appear;
Nor doth the early shepherds' star
Shine like a spangle here.

Stay but till my Julia close
Her life-begetting eye,
And let the whole world then dispose
Itself to live or die.
