236. Wherein Love Must Counsel Some Change Without Delay -
WHEREIN LOVE MUST COUNSEL SOME CHANGE WITHOUT DELAY
Love must advise me newly and that soon
For he has wrought upon my soul a snare,
Such terror and such anguish fasten there
That, though desire increases, hope is strewn.
Baffled and solitary, both by noon
And night the tears of an immense despair
Burn, and my feet go wildly everywhere
Lacking her hand this many a heavy moon.
I dream our hands touch; but alas, she lies
Under much earth, or else through heaven stares
Upon my heart, but not upon mine eyes:
From them forever a veil that nothing tears
Shuts out that blaze, and makes my soul despise
Its body dulled with premature despairs.
Love must advise me newly and that soon
For he has wrought upon my soul a snare,
Such terror and such anguish fasten there
That, though desire increases, hope is strewn.
Baffled and solitary, both by noon
And night the tears of an immense despair
Burn, and my feet go wildly everywhere
Lacking her hand this many a heavy moon.
I dream our hands touch; but alas, she lies
Under much earth, or else through heaven stares
Upon my heart, but not upon mine eyes:
From them forever a veil that nothing tears
Shuts out that blaze, and makes my soul despise
Its body dulled with premature despairs.
