Arise My Love Poem by James Casey

Arise My Love

Arise my love, my lovely one come
The winter is past and the rains are gone
The flowers appear it's a season of song
My beautiful one, arise and come with me

Who is it that appears, like the dawn
As fair as the moon, as bright as the sun
Show me your face, let me hear your voice
My beautiful one, arise and come with me

Set me like a seal on your heart
For love is as unyielding as the grave
The flash of it is a jealous fire
My love is as strong as death

Arise, my love, and come with me
Before the dawn breaks and the shadows flee
You ravish my heart with just one glance
My beautiful one arise and come with me

Arise my love, my lovely one come
The winter is past and the rains are gone
The flowers appear, it's the season of song
My beautiful one, arise and come with me
