Leiden Wall Poems-Shakespeare

Sonnet XXX

When to the sessions of sweet silent thought
I summon up remembrance of things past,
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,
And with old woes new wail my dear times' waste:

Then can I drown an eye, unus'd to flow,
For precious friends hid in death's dateless night
And weep afresh love's long-since cancell'd woe,
And moan the expense of many a vanish'd sight:

Then can I grieve at grievances foregone,
And heavenly from woe to woe tell o'er
The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan,
Which I new pay as if not paid before.

But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,
All losses are restor'd and sorrows end.

                        -William Shakespeare (Engeland, 1564 - 1616)
