Out of time's cramped oblivion let

      Out of time's cramped oblivion let
      Your gentle nature shake glad tomorrows
      That goes all honied now with sorrow
      And walks in shrouds of sighs blaspheming heaven
5     That ever spiked such bitter in your palette
      Which only youthful sweetness had leavened.
      Do not tread in anger at the skies
      Which melt and change indifferent to men
      And all their waste of importuning cries.
10    Return to dewy looks of love again
      And let the sad house of death, draped with pall,
      The merry carpenter delight reframe
      And with each love-look build new chapel halls
      Arched against the tart recurrence of your pain.
