by Thomas Carew (1595? - 1639?)

You that think Love can convey
Language: English 
Chosen for Diff
You that think Love can convey
       No other way
But through the eyes, into the heart,
       His fatal dart,
Close up those casements, and but hear
       This siren sing;
       And on the wing
Of her sweet voice, it shall appear
That Love can enter at the ear.

Then unveil your eyes; behold
       The curious mould
Where that voice dwells, and as we know,
       When the cocks crow,
And Sol is mounted on his way,
       We freely may
       Gaze on the day;
So may you, when the music's done,
Awake, and see the rising sun.
