    Hamlet

    by: Tystnaden

    If the dull substance of my flesh were thought
    Injurious distance should not stop my way
    For then despite of space, I would be brought
    From limits far remote where thou dost stay
    Not so far, mine eye and heart are at a mortal war
    How to divide the conquest of your irresistible sight
    When you are here with your poetry.
    But ah! Thought kills me that I'm not thought
    To leap large lengths of miles when you are gone
    These are our sacrifices, roses have thorns and silver fountains mud
    But that, so much of earth and water wrought
    I must attend time's leisure with my moan
    Let me confess that we two... we must be twain!
    Rise with your stateliness, dream of us with open eye
    Like waves make towards the shore
    Our minutes hasten to their end
    Not so far, mine eye and heart are at a mortal war
    How to divide the conquest of your irresistible sight
    When you are here in your person.
    But ah! Thought kills me that I'm not thought
    To leap large lengths of miles when you are gone
    These are our sacrifices, roses have thorns and silver fountains mud
    But that, so much of earth and water wrought
    I must attend time's leisure with my moan
    These are our sacrifices...
    Mine are heavy tears, mine is the grief of having you
    So shall I compare you to a summer's day?
    No, you are more lovely and more temperate
    Within the distance my mind dives in yours
    Who will believe my verse in time to come
    If it were filled with your most high deserts, and with my love?
    So long as eyes can see
