34. Sonnet Constant Love. on "Sonnets From The Portuguese"

SONNET:"Question"



What's the matter, Sweet?

Why do you ask Faithfulness

whether it's guile-less?

And why do you so entreat

of Virtue "Are you truest?"



Can heart see life between

the green grass and deep sod?

Can Faith and Hope in God?

There Hope has always been

in waiting, for Chance's nod.



There is no skill,nor art,

artifice, design.

Address my Heart!!

Let him sign

each part

"THINE!!"
