Against the onward clock, you stand as were When springs' of old did share your present state, Such that in you; your petal's inner myrrh Have fragranced that outlasts our ageing fate! From yours of sweetest scent do I detect, Inward allow you where my age does store And drawn as bees would to it's honey sect Are those that youth me young as times before, Invigorating mine that change my sight: How I view me and all mine were distained And have my burrows filled by youthful might That when your eyes are far; you have remained:
By cause your essence lends it's grace to mine To withhold time; I name your grace devine!
