Sweet Love Renew Thy Force
Sweet love
Renew thy force
Be it not said
Thy edge should blunter be than appetite
Which but today
By feeding is allayed
Tomorrow sharpened in his former might
So love be thou
Although today
Thou fill thy hungry eyes
Even till they wink with fullness
Tomorrow see again
And do not kill
The spirit of love
With a perpetual dullness
Let this sad interim like the ocean be
Which parts the shore
Where two contracted new
Come daily to the banks
That when they see
Return of love
More blessed may be the view
Let this sad interim like the ocean be
Which parts the shore
Where two contracted new
Come daily to the banks
That when they see
Return of love
More blessed may be the view
Else call it winter
Which being full of care
Makes summer’s welcome thrice more wished
More rare
Else call it winter
Which being full of care
Makes summer’s welcome thrice more wished
More rare
Renew thy force
Renew thy force
