wolfgang fortner - sonnet no. 22: my glass shall not persuade me lyrics
Loading...
my glass shall not persuade me i am old
so long as youth and thou are of one date;
but when in thee time’s furrows i behold
then look i death my days should expiate
for all that beauty that doth cover thee
is but the seemly raiment of my heart
which in thy breast doth live, as thine in me:
how can i then be elder than thou art?
o! therefore love, be of thyself so wary
as i, not for myself, but for thee will;
bearing thy heart, which i will keep so chary
as tender nurse her babe from faring ill
presume not on thy hеart when mine is slain
thou gav’st me thinе not to give back again
