Caroline Elizabeth Sarah Norton - Sonnet XIV

Caroline Elizabeth Sarah Norton - Sonnet XIV

OH! crystal eyes, in which my image lay br While I was near, as in a fountain's wave; br Let it not in like manner pass away br When I am gone; for I am Love's true slave, br And in my eyes thine image dwells enshrined, br Like one who dazzled hath beheld the sun, br So that to other beauty I am blind, br And scarce distinguish what I gaze upon: br Let it be thus with thee! By all our vows,-- br By the true token-ring upon thy hand,-- br Let such remembrance as my worth allows br Between thee and each bright temptation stand,-- br That I, in those clear orbs, on my return, br As in the wave's green depth, my shadow may discern.
