How can heart for this muse not passions feel
When her smile feeds my dreams, and lights the room
As if angel were present? Might hopes bloom
When I have sight of Beauty? Muse seems all
Of heart’s desire, though I dare not muse call
More than lines’ inspiration. If she wills,
In her glance I might find what of dream fills.
Yet, I cannot muse’s affections steal.
Muse does not allow lines to tell what I
Would offer to one who holds heart in thrall:
I cannot ask she more than glances share.
Should I abandon hope and let dreams die,
That I cannot more than friend this muse call?
I fear I cannot not for my muse care.
