A Consonet

Eyes with your tears, blind if you be,
Why have these tears such eyes to see,
Poore eyes, if yours tears cannot move,
My tears, eyes, then must mone my love,
Then eyes, since you have lost your sight,
Weep still, and teares shall lend you light,
Till both dissolved, and both want might.
No, no, clear eyes, you are not blind,
But in my tears discern my mind:
Tears be the language which you speak,
Which my heart wanting, yet must break;
My tongue must cease to tell my wrongs,
And make my sighs to get them tongs,
Yet more then this to her belongs.

[The end]
Michael Drayton's poem: Eyes With Your Tears, Blind If You Be
