Original text and translations
English text
I got me flowers to strew thy way;
I got me boughs off many a tree:
But thou wast up by break of day,
And brought'st thy sweets along with thee.
The Sun arising in the East,
Though he give light, and the East perfume;
If they should offer to contest
With thy arising, they presume.
Can there be any day but this,
Though many suns to shine endeavour?
We count three hundred, but we miss:
There is but one, and that one ever.
Lyrics: George Herbert (1593-1633), "I Got Me Flowers", from "The Temple: Sacred Poems and Private Ejaculations", published 1633.
