Love from her cow

Again ye return my delights of the morning 
& clean up the roads to tempt doll to her cow 
Thrice welcome ye flowers I rejoice in your blooming 
Ye cowslaps dew shaken by night roving cow 
& eglantine brambles of sweetest perfuming 
Ill rub off your prickles a wreath for her brow 
& welcome ye awthorns your green leaves delight me 
Oer arching the brook wi your thick screening bough 
In your secret shelter shall kisses invite me 
To bear home the load of my love from her cow
