Shadows I Cling

Newly built scenes
Rise in my eye
Erected lovers playhouse
Mine spirit floated
As day call came night
Bodies work ne’er done
The splendor of your dreadful hours
Yet you sing your joy soft and right
Ye have no more other desperate plight
Putting up your flag and tower
Now we two face solitude alone
Every bit of your smile a sight
On your loveliness I gloated
Cheeks like a little mouse
Breath from your mouth just sighs
I stand so close to you, shadows I cling.
