Sweetest Love, Return Again
Sweetest love, return again,
Make not too long stay:
Killing mirth and forcing pain,
Sorrow leading way,
Let us not thus parted be:
Love and absence ne'r agree.
But since you must needs depart,
And me hapless leave,
In your journey take my heart,
Which will not deceive.
Yours it is, to you it flies,
Joying in those lovèd eyes.
So in part we shall not part,
Though we absent be:
Time, nor place, nor greatest smart
Shall my bands make free.
Tied I am, yet think it gain:
In such knots I feel no pain.
But can I live, having lost
Chiefest part of me?
Heart is fled, and sight is crossed,
Those my fortunes be.
Yet dear heart go, soon return:
As good there as here to burn.
