Coil - Viii. Escalation - A - (sonnet Xxx) lyrics

rate me

When to the sessions of sweet silent thought<br />

I summon up remembrance of things past,<br />

I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,<br />

And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste:<br />

Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow,<br />

For precious friends hid in death's dateless night,<br />

And weep afresh love's long since cancell'd woe,<br />

And moan the expense of many a vanish'd sight:<br />

Then can I grieve at grievances foregone,<br />

And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er<br />

The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan,<br />

Which I new pay as if not paid before.<br />

But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,<br />

All losses are restored and sorrows end.
