Why dost thou wound and break my heart, <br />As if we should for ever part? <br />Hast thou not heard an oath from me, <br />After a day, or two, or three, <br />I would come back and live with thee? <br />Take, if thou dost distrust that vow, <br />This second protestation now:-- <br />Upon thy cheek that spangled tear, <br />Which sits as dew of roses there, <br />That tear shall scarce be dried before <br />I'll kiss the threshold of thy door; <br />Then weep not, Sweet, but thus much know,-- <br />I'm half returned before I go.<br /><br />Robert Herrick<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/his-covenant-or-protestation-to-julia/
