303. Wherein He Craves the Swift Recompense of Her Intercession As Reward for His True and Long Love -
WHEREIN HE CRAVES THE SWIFT RECOMPENSE OF HER INTERCESSION AS REWARD FOR HIS TRUE AND LONG LOVE
Lady, that blissfully with God may glitter
By virtue of surpassing charms and graces,
Thou art enthroned now in the golden places,
With more than pearls adorned, with purple fitter
A princes of the Lord: Ah, loveliest sitter
On the celestial dais, through Him that traces
The secret breast, regard my heart whose basis
Of love and faith my songs prove, my tears bitter.
Know, also, at the last how my heart only
To thine on earth beat as in heaven, wished never
More than beneath thine eyes to throb forever:
Wherefore, to bless the heart so long so lonely
For love which kept it loyal from the world.
Ah, spread thy wings like Love's bright flag unfurled!
Lady, that blissfully with God may glitter

The secret breast, regard my heart whose basis
Of love and faith my songs prove, my tears bitter.
Know, also, at the last how my heart only

More than beneath thine eyes to throb forever:
Wherefore, to bless the heart so long so lonely
For love which kept it loyal from the world.
Ah, spread thy wings like Love's bright flag unfurled!
