"Hither" describes the directionality of motion and means "toward here". "Come hither" is nowadays more commonly said "come here" although what is meant is "come toward here" or "come in this direction". A "come hither motion" is therefore a gesture indicating that someone should come towards you.

"Under the Greenwood Tree" is a song sung by Amiens in the Shakespeare play As You Like It. The first verse goes like this: Under the greenwood tree Who loves to lie with me, And turn his merry note Unto the sweet bird's throat, Come hither, come hither, come hither: Here shall he see No enemy But winter and rough weather. There is some dialogue and then Amiens and company sing the second verse, which goes: Who doth ambition shun And loves to live i' the sun, Seeking the food he eats And pleased with what he gets, Come hither, come hither, come hither: Here shall he see No enemy But winter and rough weather. The main theme of this song is that if you want to spend a peaceful life then you should leave all the ambition and falsehood of this fake world behind. Here you can spend a tension free life. Of course, Jaques the local cynic has to make fun of this hippy-dippy song, which he does by singing: If it do come to pass That any man turn ass, Leaving his wealth and ease, A stubborn will to please, Ducdame, ducdame, ducdame: Here shall he see Gross fools as he, An if he will come to me.
