William Shakespeare
(15641616).
The Oxford Shakespeare: Poems.
1914.
Sonnet XXX.
When to the sessions of sweet silent thought
W
HEN
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 times waste:
Then can I drown an eye, unusd to flow,
5
For precious friends hid in deaths dateless night,
And weep afresh loves long since cancelld woe,
And moan the expense of many a vanishd sight:
Then can I grieve at grievances foregone,
And heavily from woe to woe tell oer
10
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 restord and sorrows end.
