William Shakespeare. 15641616148. Sonnets iv
THY bosom is endearèd with all hearts | |
Which I, by lacking, have supposèd dead: | |
And there reigns Love, and all Love’s loving parts, | |
And all those friends which I thought burièd. | |
How many a holy and obsequious tear | 5 |
Hath dear religious love stol’n from mine eye, | |
As interest of the dead!—which now appear | |
But things removed that hidden in thee lie. | |
Thou art the grave where buried love doth live, | |
Hung with the trophies of my lovers gone, | 10 |
Who all their parts of me to thee did give: | |
—That due of many now is thine alone: | |
Their images I loved I view in thee, | |
And thou, all they, hast all the all of me. |
