Michael Drayton - Sonnet XXVI: I Ever LoveMichael Drayton - Sonnet XXVI: I Ever Love
Work rating: Low


To Despair I ever love where never hope appears, Yet hope draws on my never-hoping care, And my life`s hope would die, but for despair; My never-certain joy breeds ever-certain fears; Uncertain dread gives wings unto my hope, Yet my hope`s wings are laden so with fear As they cannot ascend to my hope`s sphere; Though fear gives them more than a heav`nly scope, Yet this large room is bounded with despair; So my love is still fetter`d with vain hope, And liberty deprives him of his scope, And thus am I imprison`d in the air. Then, sweet despair, awhile hold up thy head, Or all my hope for sorrow will be dead.
