Sonnet 13: And wilt thou have me fashion into speech

And wilt thou have me fashion into speech

The love I bear thee, finding words enough,

And hold the torch out, while the winds are rough,

Between our faces, to cast light on each?

My hand to hold my spirit so far off

From myself 'me' that I should bring thee proof

In words, of love hid in me out of reach.

Nay, let the silence of my womanhood

Commend
