Love
By Thomas Lodge (15581625)
T
Love with his arrows wounds mine eyes;
If so I gaze upon the ground,
Love then in every flower is found;
Search I the shade to fly my pain,
He meets me in the shade again;
Wend I to walk in secret grove,
Ev’n there I meet with sacred Love;
If so I bathe me in the spring,
Ev’n on the bank I hear him sing;
If so I meditate alone,
He will be partner of my moan;
If so I mourn, he weeps with me;
And where I am, there he will be!
