Sonnet XXXI-XXXV

Yes, call me by that name,--and I, in truth,
To slacken all those bonds which seemed too soon
I sit beneath thy looks, as children do
Be heir to those who are now exanimate.
Yet love me--wilt thou ? Open thine heart wide,
Yet still my heart goes to thee--ponder how--
And be all to me? Shall I never miss
Through my obedience. When I answer now,
Fond voices which, being drawn and reconciled
To love me, I looked forward to the moon
To spoil his song with, and which, snatched in haste,
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
The first time that the sun rose on thine oath
With the look of its eyes. I miss the clear
With thy broad heart serenely interpose:
Yet still my heart goes to thee--ponder how--
If I leave all for thee, wilt thou exchange
Into the music of Heavens undefiled,
Should for a moment stand unministered
With the look of its eyes. I miss the clear
Is laid down at the first ill-sounding note.
To run and answer with the smile that came
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
In that last doubt! and yet I cannot rue
A wrong on thee. For perfect strains may float
In the noon-sun, with souls that tremble through
Sonnet XXXIV: With the Same Heart九_九_藏_書
Not as to a single good, but all my good!
Nay, wilt thou fill that place by me which is
Sonnet XXXI
And catch the early love up in the late.
Lay thy hand on it, best one, and allow
When I look up, to drop on a new range
And, looking on myself, I seemed not one
And quickly tied to make a lasting troth.
Quick-loving hearts, I thought, may quickly loathe;
Be heir to those who are now exanimate.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
With the same heart, I said, Ill answer thee
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
To glance up in some face that proved me dear
I drop a grave thought, break from solitude;
The sin most, but the occasion--that we two
To spoil his song with, and which, snatched in haste,
Not as to a single good, but all my good !
If I leave all for thee, wilt thou exchange
Yes, call me by my pet-name ! let me hear
I did not wrong myself so, but I placed
The sin most, but the occasion--that we two
Sonnet XXXIV
The name I used to run at, when a child,
For grief indeed is love and grief beside.
Like callow birds left desert to the skies.
Home-talk and blessing and the common九九藏書 kiss
When I look up, to drop on a new range
And fold within the wet wings of thy dove.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Yes, call me by that name,--and I, in truth,
Is laid down at the first ill-sounding note.
I dropped my flowers or brake off from a game,
By a mutual presence. Ah, keep near and close,
From innocent play, and leave the cowslips piled,
With the same heart, I said, Ill answer thee
Neath master-hands, from instruments defaced,--
And catch the early love up in the late.
While I call God--call God !--So let thy mouth
Yet love me--wilt thou? Open thine heart wide,
Call me no longer. Silence on the bier,
That no childs foot could run as fast as this blood.
From innocent play, and leave the cowslips piled,
Thou dovelike help ! and, when my fears would rise,
To love me, I looked forward to the moon
Yet prodigal inward joy. Behold, I erred
These thoughts which tremble when bereft of those,
And quickly tied to make a lasting troth.
Brood down with thy divine sufficiencies
Alas, I have grieved so I am hard to love.
To run and answer with the smile that came
In the noon-sun, with souls that tremble through
To glance up in some face that provhttps://read.99csw.comed me dear
To conquer grief, tries more, as all things prove;
And be all to me ? Shall I never miss
Sonnet XXXIII: Yes, Call Me by My Pet-Name!
Yet prodigal inward joy. Behold, I erred
Fond voices which, being drawn and reconciled

These thoughts which tremble when bereft of those,
Sonnet XXXII: The First Time
For such mans love !--more like an out-of-tune
Sonnet XXXV
That no childs foot could run fast as this blood.
Home-talk and blessings and the common kiss
To slacken all those bonds which seemed too soon
In that last doubt ! and yet I cannot rue
Their happy eyelids from an unaverred
Filled by dead eyes too tender to know change ?
For grief indeed is love and grief beside.
Thou comest! all is said without a word.
I did not wrong myself so, but I placed
And fold within the wet wings of thy dove.
Should for a moment stand unministered
As those, when thou shalt call me by my name--
When called before, I told how hastily
Into the music of Heavens undefiled,
Perplexed and ruffled by lifes strategy ?
A wrong on thee. For perfect strains may float
Like callow birds九九藏書 left desert to the skies.
And, looking on myself, I seemed not one
I dropped my flowers or brake off from a game,
Alas, I have grieved sol am hard to love.
Lo, the vain promise ! is the same, the same,
Sonnet XXXV: If I Leave All for Thee
The name I used to run at, when a child,
I drop a grave thought, break from solitude;
At play last moment, and went on with me
Sonnet XXXII
The first time that the sun rose on thine oath
Lo, the vain promise! is the same, the same,
Brood down with thy divine sufficiencies
That comes to each in turn, nor count it strange,
When called before, I told how hastily
And great souls, at one stroke, may do and doat.
Thou dovelike help! and, when my fears would rise,
While I call God--call God!--So let thy mouth
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Their happy eyelids from an unaverred
Thats hardest. If to conquer love, has tried,
As those, when thou shalt call me by my name--
Of walls and floors, another home than this?
And great souls, at one stroke, may do and doat.
Through my obedience. When I answer now,
Call me no longer. Silence on the bier,
That comes to each in turn, nor count it strange,
Foread•99csw•comr such mans love!--more like an out-of-tune
Gather the north flowers to complete the south,
Yes, call me by my pet-name! let me hear

To conquer grief, tries more, as all things prove;
Of walls and floors, another home than this ?
With the same heart, will answer and not wait.
Gather the north flowers to complete the south,

That s hardest. If to conquer love, has tried,
Nay, wilt thou fill that place by me which is
By a mutual presence. Ah, keep near and close,
Worn viol, a good singer would be wroth
Thou comest ! all is said without a word.
Lay thy hand on it, best one, and allow
At play last moment, and went on with me
Quick-loving hearts, I thought, may quickly loathe;
I sit beneath thy looks, as children do
