Good morning, Lair!

THE BRACELET TO JULIA
Robert Herrick

Julia, this my silken twist?
For what other reason is't,
But to shew thee how in part
Thou my pretty captive art?
But thy bond-slave is my heart;
'Tis but silk that bindeth thee,
Knap the thread and thou art free;
But 'tis otherwise with me;
I am bound, and fast bound so,
That from thee I cannot go;
If I could, I would not so.

[Soaring Feather]

I cannot leave
I cannot go
my soul is bound
to thee I know
tho miles are great
and mountains high
in the night I do cry
for the comfort of your love
and the heat of your warmth
the charm of you in day
is kept from me and I do sway
from the loneness in my skin
in the night I hear the wild wind
like a ghost on the prowl
there is a hollow all around
when not a word of you is heard
but the dread night sounds
all around and an ache in my soul
that you could take and make it whole
I cannot leave
I cannot go...
