Sonnet 03 Poem by John Florio

No word is enough to express —
This longing that makes me restless.
Off the coast, drown in the sea,
Ah! Can't you hear my silent plea?
Come to me in my dreams, and then,
By day I shall be well again,
For then the night will more than pay,
The hopeless longing of the day.
Come as if you come a thousand times
A messenger from radiant climes.
And smile on your new world, and be
As sincerely kind to others as to me.
My love, you never came in sooth,
Come now, and let me dream it truth!
