Love-Sonnets (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Love-Sonnets<br><br>I O in thine honour I will build a place<br>Where thou and I may dwell with love apart,<br>Hand clasped in hand and beating heart to heart,<br>And find from life's dull tumult a sweet space<br>Of rest and quiet: on its walls I trace<br>Shapes of religious and devoted art<br>And hues of fair imaginings, that start<br>And fill each crevice with thy sudden face.<br>Come live in it, for it is thine; thy friend<br>Is but the architect. 'Tis dark: so come,<br>Reveal its form with thine indwelling smile.<br>Nor lack I some far hope that in the end<br>Thy memory may thine heritor become,<br>And live in this pure house a little while.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
