Thus while I sit and sigh the day

With all his spreading lights away

    Till night's black wings do overtake me,

Thinking on thee; thy beauties then,

As sudden lights do sleeping men,

    So they by their bright rays awake me. 

Thus absence dies, and dying proves

No absence can consist with loves

    That do partake of fair perfection,

Since in the darkest night they may

By their quick motion find a way

    To see each other by reflection. 

The waving sea can with such flood

Bathe some high palace that hath stood

    Far from the main up in the river:

Oh think not then but love can do

As much, for that's an ocean too,

    That flows not every day, but ever. 

– Owen Feltham (1661)
