The pillar perished whereto I leaned,
The strongest stay of my unquiet mind;
The like of it no man again can find –
From east to west, still seeking though he went –
To mine unhap, for hap away hath rent
Of all my joy, the very bark and rind,
And I, alas, by chance am thus assigned
Dearly to mourn till death do it relent.
But since that thus it is by destiny,
What can I more but have a woeful heart,
My pen in plaint, my voice in woeful cry,
My mind in woe, my body full of smart,
And I myself, myself always to hate
Till dreadful death do ease my doleful state ?
Thomas Wyatt.
Beautiful!
