WERE I as base as is the lowly plain, And you, my Love, as high as heaven above, Yet should the thoughts of me your humble swain Ascend to heaven, in honor of my Love. Were I as high as heaven above the plain, And you, my Love, as humble and as low As are the deepest bottoms of the main, Weresoe'er you were, with you my love should go. Were you the earth, dear Love, and I the skies, My love should shine on you like to the sun, And look upon you with ten thousand eyes Till heaven waxed blind, and till the world were done. Wheresoe'er I am, below, or else above you, Whereso'er you are, my heart shall truly love you. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PERIMEDES, THE BLACKSMITH: PHILLIS AND CORIDON by ROBERT GREENE THE BROOKSIDE by RICHARD MONCKTON MILNES TIME TO RISE by ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON SONNET by THEODORE AGRIPPA D' AUBIGNE SONNET: 2 by RICHARD BARNFIELD MEXICAN FUNERAL PROCESSION by BEULAH VICK BICKLEY |
