Dear to my soul, then leave me not forsaken! Fly not, my heart within thy bosom sleepeth. Even from myself and sense I have betaken Me unto thee for whom my spirit weepeth, And on the shore of that salt teary sea, Couched in a bed of unseen seeming pleasure, Where in imaginary thoughts thy fair self lay; But being waked, robbed of my life's best treasure, I call the heavens, air, earth, and seas to hear My love, my truth, and black disdained estate; Beating the rocks with bellowings of despair, Which still with plaints my words reverberate; Sighing, Alas, what shall become of me? Whilst Echo cries, What shall become of me?
