Love

All yn thi sight my lif doth hole depende

by Sir Thomas Wyatt 1503–1542

From The Poems of Sir Thomas Wiat (ed. A. K. Foxwell, 1913)

Love

All yn thi sight my lif doth hole depende ;
Thou hidist thyself and I must dye therfore ;
But sins thou maiste so easely save thy frende.
Why dost thou styk to salv that thou madist sore ?
Whye doo I dye sins thou maist me deff ende ?
For if I dye, then maiste thou lyve no more :
Sins ton bye tothr doth lyve and fede thy herte,
I with thye sight, thou also with my smerte.
