Caroline Elizabeth Sarah Norton - Sonnet XIV
Work rating: Low

OH! crystal eyes, in which my image lay 
While I was near, as in a fountain`s wave; 
Let it not in like manner pass away 
When I am gone; for I am Love`s true slave, 
And in my eyes thine image dwells enshrined, 
Like one who dazzled hath beheld the sun, 
So that to other beauty I am blind, 
And scarce distinguish what I gaze upon: 
Let it be thus with thee! By all our vows,-- 
By the true token-ring upon thy hand,-- 
Let such remembrance as my worth allows 
Between thee and each bright temptation stand,-- 
That I, in those clear orbs, on my return, 
As in the wave`s green depth, my shadow may discern.
