Sonnet CLXXXV
That Sun hath shined, it is my love golden,And with it I pine o’er days spent blindly;That bright star lost, heart’s tempest embolden,Upon a swirling sea tossed less kindly. O’er waters deep, sweet sorrow’s courage wanes:Valiant purple, fade into curves of blue;And for all that hath been giv’n beauty feigns,Mine periled breast forsaking all I […]
