about

text by 16th-century composer Thomas Campion

lyrics

Now winter nights enlarge
The number of their hours,
And clouds their storms discharge,
Upon the ayrie towr’s.
Let now the chimneys blaze,
And cups o’re flow with wine,
Let well tuned words amaze
With harmony divine.
Now yellow waxen lights
Shall wait on teasing love,
While youthful revels, masks and courtly sights
Sleep’s leaden spells remove.

This time doth well dispense
With lover’s long discourse,
Much speech hath some defense,
Though beauty no remorse.
All do not all things well,
Some treasures comely tread,
Some knotted riddles tell,
some poems smoothly read.
The summer hath his joys,
And winter his delights.
Though love and all his pleasures are but toys,
They shorten winter nights.
