Richard Lovelace - To Lucasta, Going Beyond the Seas
Work rating: Low

If to be absent were to be
Away from thee;
Or that when I am gone,
You or I were alone, - 
Then, my Lucasta, might I crave
Pity from blust`ring wind or swallowing wave.

But I`ll not sigh one blast or gale
To swell my sail,
Or pay a tear to `suage
The foaming blue god`s rage;
For whether he will let me pass
Or no, I`m still as happy as I was.

Though seas and land betwixt us both,
Our faith and troth,
Like separated souls,
All time and space controls:
Above the highest sphere we meet
Unseen, unknown, and greet as angels greet.

So then we do anticipate
Our after-fate,
And are alive i`th` skies,
If thus our lips and eyes
Can speak like spirits unconfined
In Heaven, their earthy bodies left behind.
