Rhyme Scheme: AABCDD EEFFGH IIJJKK LLMMNNIf to be absent were to be | A |
Away from thee | A |
Or that when I am gone | B |
You or I were alone mdash | C |
Then my Lucasta might I crave | D |
Pity from blust'ring wind or swallowing wave | D |
- | |
But I'll not sigh one blast or gale | E |
To swell my sail | E |
Or pay a tear to 'suage | F |
The foaming blue god's rage | F |
For whether he will let me pass | G |
Or no I'm still as happy as I was | H |
- | |
Though seas and land betwixt us both | I |
Our faith and troth | I |
Like separated souls | J |
All time and space controls | J |
Above the highest sphere we meet | K |
Unseen unknown and greet as angels greet | K |
- | |
So then we do anticipate | L |
Our after fate | L |
And are alive i'th' skies | M |
If thus our lips and eyes | M |
Can speak like spirits unconfined | N |
In Heaven their earthy bodies left behind | N |
