- Look at me: do not turn away thy face
- That is so bright and happy smiles + is so quiet, for my mind
- Is weary: I have sought but cannot find
- Quiet a rest in any thoughts or any place
- In all the world, for still the living trace but here [?]
-
Of thy dear looks, for still thy speeches bind
Added Text[? ? ?]
-
Me to thine image, and [?] make me blind
Added Text[? ? ?]
- To any other object thing [?] but thy grace.
- O think [?] thou wilt be ever with me so, —
- 10 The music A few words of thy voice and the soft heaving
- Of thy close-covered bosom lulling me
- Even from myself: that I shall might ever see
- Thy forehead and thine eyelids with this glow
- Of love self-conscious half, and all believing.
W.M.
