Under love's heavy burden do I sink

Can I go forward, when my heart is here?

I cannot be here, here and there,

there and here for You and I

are past our dancing days



I like the lightning

which does cease to be

ere one can say "I see"

Beauty too rich for use

for earth too dear

Did my heart love till now?

I forswear!



Regions near me seemed all alone

My mutual cry she never heard again

Now sadness is beloved, and love we gain

Alike bewitched by charm of looks



Night, sable Goddess,

from your ebon throne

Every eye is fixed on you alone

I thank you, moon, for showing me the way

Trip away, make me stay, meet me all

by break of day



You made mine eyes and merry tears

Oh, grim-looked night, the way you fear!

Full many flowers born to blush unseen

And waste their sweetness now

sure their last gleam



Trip away, make me stay,

meet me all by break of day

Heaven hell shadow-dancer

heatened blood makes holy hands unclean



Mine eyes look sad,

And grim-looked night away

Stare around the sphere

to blush unseen-your tears



When you turn away

Leave me out of the end

Turn your insane out

Leave me, it you will



Away from light steals forth my soul

I want give cure as know

But love's a smoke with fume of sighs

So swallow down and rise, autumn rise
