I spy Celia
Britten, Benjamin
I spy Celia, Celia eyes me,
I approach her, but she flies me;
I pursue; more coy I find her,
I seem colder, then she's kinder:
Her eyes charm me, my words move her,
She esteems me, and I love her.
In not blessing, most she blesses,
And not possessing, each possesses.
Now she blushes. I grow bolder,
She would leave me but I hold her;
She grows angry; I appease her.
I am redder, then I please her.
