Memory
When to the sessions of sweet silent thought I summon up remembrance of
things past, I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought And with old woes new
wail my dear time's waste. Then can I drown an eye (unused to flow) For
precious friends hid in death's dateless night, and weep afresh love's long
since cancelled woe, and moan the expense of many a vanished sight. Then can
I grieve at grievances foregone, and heavily from woe to woe tell over the
sad account of fore-bemoaned moan, Which I new pay as if not paid before.
But if the while I think on thee, dear friend, all losses are restored and
sorrows end.
