Lady who hold'st on me dominion	A
Within your spirit's arms I stay me fast	B
Against the fell	C
Immitigate ravening of the gates of hell	C
And claim my right in you most hardly won	A
Of chaste fidelity upon the chaste	D
Hold me and hold by me lest both should fall	E
O in high escalade high companion	A
Even in the breach of Heaven's assaulted wall	E
Like to a wind sown sapling grow I from	F
The clift Sweet of your skyward jetting soul	G
Shook by all gusts that sweep it overcome	F
By all its clouds incumbent O be true	H
To your soul dearest as my life to you	H
For if that soil grow sterile then the whole	G
Of me must shrivel from the topmost shoot	I
Of climbing poesy and my life killed through	H
Dry down and perish to the foodless root	I
	-
Sweet Summer unto you this swallow drew	H
By secret instincts inappeasable	G
That did direct him well	G
Lured from his gelid North which wrought him wrong	J
Wintered of sunning song	J
By happy instincts inappeasable	G
Ah yes that led him well	G
Lured to the untried regions and the new	H
Climes of auspicious you	H
To twitter there and in his singing dwell	G
But ah if you my Summer should grow waste	D
With grieving skies o'ercast	D
For such migration my poor wing was strong	J
But once it has no power to fare again	K
Forth o'er the heads of men	K
Nor other Summers for its Sanctuary	L
But from your mind's chilled sky	M
It needs must drop and lie with stiffened wings	N
Among your soul's forlornest things	N
A speck upon your memory alack	M
A dead fly in a dusty window crack	M
	-
O therefore you who are	O
What words being to such mysteries	P
As raiment to the body is	Q
Should rather hide than tell	G
Chaste and intelligential love	R
Whose form is as a grove	S
Hushed with the cooing of an unseen dove	R
Whose spirit to my touch thrills purer far	O
Than is the tingling of a silver bell	G
Whose body other ladies well might bear	T
As soul yea which it profanation were	U
For all but you to take as fleshly woof	V
Being spirit truest proof	V
Whose spirit sure is lineal to that	D
Which sang Magnificat	D
Chastest since such you are	O
Take this curbed spirit of mine	W
Which your own eyes invest with light divine	W
For lofty love and high auxiliar	O
In daily exalt emprise	X
Which outsoars mortal eyes	X
This soul which on your soul is laid	D
As maid's breast against breast of maid	D
Beholding how your own I have engraved	D
On it and with what purging thoughts have laved	D
This love of mine from all mortality	D
Indeed the copy is a painful one	A
And with long labour done	A
O if you doubt the thing you are lady	D
Come then and look in me	D
Your beauty Dian dress and contemplate	D
Within a pool to Dian consecrate	D
Unveil this spirit lady when you will	G
For unto all but you 'tis veiled still	G
Unveil and fearless gaze there you alone	Y
And if you love the image 'tis your own	Y
