Passing By


There is a lady sweet and kind

Was never face so pleased my mind,

I did but see her passing by

And yet I love her till I die!


Her gestures, motions and her smile

Her wit, her voice, my heart beguile;

Beguile my heart, I know not why

And yet I love her till I die!


Cupid is winged, and doth range

Her country; so my heart doth change.

But change the earth, or change the sky

Yet will I love her till I die!


Robert Herrick
