Betrayal

So shall I carry on assuming, innocently supposing that you are true,
Like a deceived husband; a cuckoo bird on a bough, so that love's face
May still seem love to me, though altered within you to one new;
You are looking at me as usual yet your heart is in other place:

Let Me Not Count The Clock That Tells The Time

Let me not count the clock that tells the time,
Let me not sink as the brave day sinks in a hideous night;
When I watch the pale hue violet past its prime,
And sable curls all silvered over with head white;
...

Despair Not

Despair not; relent not, like the lofty reeds on a Bay Shore bending
In low sandy fields by the rough foaming sea,
Swaying and praying in harsh shrieking wind without a cease;
Without safty; no shelter or foreseen ending

When It Will Be My Time

If I Had

That my passion arm me for my grand enterprise.

Once there was a maid that caused me pangs of a lover
When day and night I had sighed all in vain
Ah, what a pleasure it was to gaze at her and discover
In her eyes rare beauty that caused me ecstasy and pain

The Fall Of A Crimson Leaf

Have you not ever be amazed at the fall of a crimson leaf
How your heart feels a languid, gnawing suffocating grief
At summer decline watch the leaf as it falls down in slow spiral motion
How your heart rebels against these saddening emotions

As I Gaze Upon

As I gaze upon her rose-wreathed locks of hair,
And watch her beguiling joyful smile;
It seems as I have drunk the very air
Her breath perfumes the long while:

Sweet Madeleine

This night is so starry, divine over a busy street lane
I am waiting for beloved, sweet Madeleine
Out of this sea of faces like a phantom of delight she will appear
I am so anxious, I am so expecting and jaded for my dear
...

I Have Desired

I have desired with such earnest to go
Where springs of my childhood never fail,
To fields of lush sprouts of flowers and flies and birds in jubilant hail,
And few sycamore and fig trees along in the sun blow.
