LYRICS

12. Sonnet 44 “Beloved, Thou Hast Brought Me Many Flowers”

Beloved, thou hast brought me many flowers Plucked in the garden all the summer through,
And winter: and it seemed as if they grew
In this close room, nor missed the sun and showers. So, in the like name of that love or ours,

Take back these thoughts, which here, unfolded, too, And which on warm and cold days I withdrew
From my heart’s ground – (Indeed those beds and bowers Be overgrown with bitter weeds and rue

And wait thy weeding’ yet here’s eglantine –
Here’s ivy! – ) take them, as I used to do
Thy flowers, and keep them where they shall not pine! Instruct thine eyes to keep their colours true,
And tell thy soul, their roots are left in mine.
