|
When most |
|
I wink then do mine eyes best see |
|
For all the day they view things unrespected |
|
But when I sleep in dreams they look on thee |
|
And darkly bright are bright in dark directed |
|
Then thou whose shadow shadows doth make bright |
|
How would thy shadow's form form happy show |
|
To the clear day with thy much clearer light |
|
When to unseeing eyes thy shade shines so |
|
How would |
|
I say mine eyes be blessed made |
|
By looking on thee in the living day |
|
When in dead night thy fair imperfect shade |
|
Through heavy sleep on sightless eyes doth stay |
|
All days are nights to see till |
|
I see thee |
|
And nights bright days when dreams do show thee me |
