Unto the boundless ocean versuri

Versuri Samuel Daniel – Unto the boundless ocean lyrics

Unto the boundless ocean of thy beauty
Runs this poor river, charg’d with streams of zeal,
Returning thee the tribute of my duty
Which here my love, my youth, my plaints reveal.
Here I unclasp the book of my charg’d soul
Where I have cast th’accounts of all my care;
Here have I summ’d my sighs; here I enrol
How they were spent for thee, look what they are.
Look on the dear expenses of my youth
And see how just I reckon with thine eyes;
Examine well thy beauty with my truth
And cross my cares ere greater sums arise.
Read it, sweet maid, though it be done but slightly.
Who can shew all his love doth love but lightly.
