Sonnet 47: Betwixt Mine Eye and Heart a League Is Took
|
Betwixt mine eye and heart a league is took,
And each doth good turns now unto the other: When that mine eye is famished for a look, Or heart in love with sighs himself doth smother, With my love's picture then my eye doth feast And to the painted banquet bids my heart; Another time, mine eye is my heart's guest And in his thoughts of love doth share a part. So either by thy picture of my love, Thyself away are present still with me, For thou not farther than my thoughts canst move And I am still with them, and they with thee; Or if they sleep, thy picture in my sight Awakes my heart, to heart's and eye's delight. |
