The Pearl/Volume 18/Acrostic - Madrigal

C ome love and dwell with me U nder the greenwood tree, N o one can happy be, T han I shall be if bless'd with thee!

P laced near your mossy grot, R ises a rustic cot. I would bear thee to that spot, C ool when the sun is hot; K ind fair one, linger not!

F lowers bloom their brightest there! U nknown fragrance fills the air! C ome, sweet Chloe, grant the prayer, K neeling I make to thee!
