Robert Southey - Sonnet 02
Work rating: Low

Think Valentine, as speeding on thy way
    Homeward thou hastest light of heart along,
  If heavily creep on one little day
    The medley crew of travellers among,
  Think on thine absent friend: reflect that here
    On Life`s sad journey comfortless he roves,
  Remote from every scene his heart holds dear,
    From him he values, and from her he loves.
  And when disgusted with the vain and dull
    Whom chance companions of thy way may doom,
  Thy mind, of each domestic comfort full,
    Turns to itself and meditates on home,
  Ah think what Cares must ache within his breast
Who loaths the lingering road, yet has no home of rest!
