Sonnet 47

b"

Betwixt mine eye and heart a league is took,
And each doth good turns now unto the other:
When that mine eye is famish'd for a look,
Or heart in love with sighs himself doth smother,
With my love's picture then my eye doth feast,
And to the painted banquet bids my heart;
Another time mine eye is my heart's guest,
And in his thoughts of love doth share a part.
So either by thy picture or my love,
Thyself away are present still with me,
For thou not farther than my thoughts canst move,
And I am still with them, and they with thee;
\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0Or if they sleep, thy picture in my sight
\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0Awakes my heart to heart's and eye's delight.
