  • The first time that the sun rose on thine oath

    Sonnet XXXII


    The first time that the sun rose on thine oath

    To love me, I looked forward to the moon

    To slacken all those bonds which seemed too soon

    And quickly tied to make a lasting troth.

    Quick-loving hearts, I thought, may quickly loathe;

    And, looking on myself, I seemed not one

    For such man's love!—more like an out of tune

    Worn viol, a good singer would be wroth

    To spoil his song with, and which, snatched in haste,

    Is laid down at the first ill-sounding note.

    I did not wrong myself so, but I placed

    A wrong on thee. For perfect strains may float

    'Neath master-hands, from instruments defaced,—


    And great souls, at one stroke, may do and doat.


    by Elizabeth Barrett Browning - Sonnets from the Portuguese (1851)
