Sonnet XXXII

Thy heart a fountain that flows with joy

Compare with that where a river doth run

As heav’n floats upon such current employ

That dove pure in vestment white hath begun

Within tepid mist, storm did boldly break,

And petty wrongs thy tender wounds assailed;

For beauty lost doth sourly cross thy heart make

Where to thy woes straying hope hath impail’d

Let peacemaker break temptation’s spell

Where new hearts lift to the music of grace

Soaring with the eagle that knows full well

That true beauty ne’r left this hallowed place

Gentle thou art that thou no joy erase

And mighty is the soul love’s wings embrace.
