Religion
A Lovers Prayer
Religion
NEare to a Christall Spring,
With Thirst and Heat opprest,
Narcissa faire doth rest,
Trees, pleasant Trees which those green plains forth bring
Now interlace your trembling Tops above,
And make a Canopy unto my Love;
So in Heavens highest House when Sun appeares,
Aurora may you cherish with her Teares.
