Shakespeare's Sonnet XXX / CLIV
01 : When to the sessions of sweet silent thought
02 : I summon up remembrance of things past,
03 : I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,
04 : And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste:
05 : Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow,
06 : For precious friends hid in death's dateless night,
07 : And weep afresh love's long since cancell'd woe,
08 : And moan the expense of many a vanish'd sight:
09 : Then can I grieve at grievances foregone,
10 : And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er
11 : The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan,
12 : Which I new pay as if not paid before.
13 : But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,
14 : All losses are restor'd and sorrows end.
