Wilfrid Scawen Blunt - Natalia’s Resurrection: Sonnet XXXI
Work rating: Low

Rather I hold with those that tell it thus,
 That they, who had made proof of their great faith,
 Were joined no less with honour in love`s house
 By Holy Church, which binding looseneth,
 Since it is written that `twixt maid and man
 The wedded contract joining hand and heart
 For this life is and passeth not the span
 Of victor death which all our bonds doth part.
 And it were grievous one should suffer all,
 Even death`s last pang and an untimely grave,
 If overcoming he again should fall
 Prisoner to penance and to sorrow slave.
 Ah, no! They lived the life their love had given,
 And we too all, so grant it kindly Heaven!
