I Bid You Farewell

My Lady, I have seen sweet sorrow encounter your sad eyes, 

laboring tears, and pain unmoved that scath my bleeding 

breast. Love proved fatal long the utterance of my woes, 

heaving in grief to my heart's dismay. 

When our lips met under loves far veil that sweet kiss once 

fair is now dark and dread. I awaken from a tearful rest that scorns 

my pale cheek. As some tender words essayed frame my heart, 

but these words versed shall make me weep. 

Sweet thieves have stolen the light from your bright eyes now loves 

darkest tyrant beholds your gaze. I bid you farewell, and let the heart 

for dear love yield. For reminiscing will only bleed our eyes more.
