Though in my Firmament thou wilt not shine

Topics: classic

Talk not, my Lord, of unrequited love,     Since love requites itself most royally.     Do we not live but by the sun above,     And takes he any heed of thee or me?     Though in my firmament thou wilt not shine,     Thy glory, as a Star, is none the less.     Oh, Rose, though all unplucked by hand of mine,     Still am I debtor to thy loveliness.
