FEEL IT!
3. Sweet love, renew thy Which but today byforce; be it not
said feeding is allayed,Thy edge should blunter Tomorrow
sharpenedbe than appetite, in his former might.
4. So, love, be thou; although today thou fillThy hungry eyes,
even till they wink withfullness,Tomorrow see again, and do not
killThe spirit of love with a perpetualdullness.
5. Let this sad interim like the ocean beWhich parts the shore,
where two contracted new
6. Come daily to the banks, that when they seeReturn of love,
more blessed may be the view;
7. Or call it winter, which, being full of care,Makes summers
welcome, thrice morewished, more rare.
