Dispossessed of Love

Oft my mind to your sweetness flies For the sway of you is the life of mine Serene smiles and your light coincide To unbolt my spirit and distort my time But my ears must unopen to your murmurous chime Long I've been dispossessed of your touch divine Yet I persist and pursue in such torturous rhymes But now has flown when my heart must decline And the hour speaks that my passions must resign For long, ages ago did your love whisper good-bye And from that deadly moment since I have denied That it was my once lively soul that has lonely died
