Michael Drayton - Sonnet XL: My Heart the Anvil

2014-11-07 11 Dailymotion

My heart the anvil where my thoughts do beat; <br />My words the hammers fashioning my desire; <br />My breast the forge including all the heat; <br />Love is the fuel which maintains the fire; <br />My sighs the bellows which the flame increaseth, <br />Filling mine ears with noise and nightly groaning; <br />Toiling with pain, my labor never ceaseth, <br />In grievous passions my woes still bemoaning; <br />My eyes with tears against the fire striving, <br />Whose scorching gleed my heart to cinders turneth, <br />But with these drops the flame again reviving, <br />Still more and more it to my torment turneth. <br />With Sisyphus thus do I roll the stone, <br />And turn the wheel with damned Ixion.<br /><br />Michael Drayton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-xl-my-heart-the-anvil/
