Sonnet 1

Is life worth living if it’s not for you? Cold thus the summer, the fields flowerless Such is the world without thy beauty view Of eternal gloom my sorrow boundless As thy presence convince this unsure heart Life’s worth living if thine love I possess Believe these words I say before I part Ever my love be true this I confess Eternity’s but a moment with thee Every smile’s a delight to my soul Let me to the sound of your voice sleep Never to wake should I not hear you call Let me live my life with your heart in mine May my last breath whisper thou art divine.
