You blessèd bowers whose green leaves now are spreading Matches base text
Language: English
You blessèd bowers whose green leaves now are spreading, Shadow the sunshine from my mistress' face, And you, sweet roses, only for her bedding When weary she doth take her resting-place; You fair white lilies and pretty flowers all, Give your attendance at my mistress' call.
Composition:
- Set to music by John Farmer (c1570 - c1601?5), "You blessèd bowers whose green leaves now are spreading", published 1599 [ chorus ], from First Set of English Madrigals
