My Paradise
WHICH PARADISE DO I AGAIN SORT?
WHEN I HAVE THEE CLOSE, NEVER FOUGHT-
WHAT VIRTUES DO I OWE AGAIN MY LOVE,
WHEN THOU DAZZLE WITH THE SUN BEAMS-DANCING DOVE.
IF PARADISE NEEDS VIRTUES, I OWE NONE:
MY LOVE SO INNOCENT,UNBENT BEAMS
AND MY HEART GOES A-MAYING FOR THY DREAMS
FORTHWITH THOU FATTEN IN SMILES SHONE:
OH! PARADISE, THOU NOT NEED COME FOR ME
FOR MINE STANDS, DAZZLER THAN ALL EVER BEHELD-
YOU ARE LATE FOR IN LOVE I'VE BEEN HELD WITH SINEWS
WHEREIN I NOW STAND,INNOCENT WITH ALL THE CLUES.
