Lackyng my love, I go from place to place, Lyke a young fawne that late hath lost the hynd, And seeke each where, where last I sawe her face, Whose ymage yet I carry fresh in mynd. I seeke the fields with her late footing synd, I seeke her bowre with her late presence deckt, Yet nor in field nor bowre I her can fynd; Yet field and bowre are full of her aspect. But when myne eyes I therunto direct, They ydly back returne to me agayne, And when I hope to see theyr trew object, I fynd my selfe but fed with fancies vayne. Ceasse then, myne eyes, to seeke her selfe to see, And let my thoughts behold her selfe in mee. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FOOLIN' WID DE SEASONS by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR SONNET ON CATHERINE WORDSWORTH by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH MIRACLE by LIBERTY HYDE BAILEY BATTALION IN REST by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN GORMFLAITH'S SONG, FR.
