Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBCBBBBAAWhen most I wink then do mine eyes best see | A |
For all the day they view things unrespected | B |
But when I sleep in dreams they look on thee | A |
And darkly bright are bright in dark directed | B |
Then thou whose shadow shadows doth make bright | B |
How would thy shadow's form form happy show | C |
To the clear day with thy much clearer light | B |
When to unseeing eyes thy shade shines so | C |
How would I say mine eyes be bless egrave d made | B |
By looking on thee in the living day | B |
When in dead night thy fair imperfect shade | B |
Through heavy sleep on sightless eyes doth stay | B |
All days are nights to see till I see thee | A |
And nights bright days when dreams do show thee me | A |
