<! | |||
Follow thy fair sun, unhappy shadow, <br> | |||
Though thou be black as night, <br> | |||
And she made all of light; <br> | |||
Yet follow thy fair sun, unhappy shadow! | |||
Follow her, whose light thy light depriveth! <br> | |||
Though here thou livest disgraced, <br> | |||
And she in heaven is placed; <br> | |||
Yet follow her whose light the world reviveth! | |||
Follow those pure beams, whose beauty burneth! <br> | |||
That so have scorchèd thee; <br> | |||
As thou still black must be, <br> | |||
Till her kind beams thy black to brightness turneth! | |||
Follow her, while yet her glory shineth! <br> | |||
There comes a luckless night <br> | |||
That will dim all her light; <br> | |||
And this the black unhappy shade divineth. | |||
Follow still, since so thy Fates ordained! <br> | |||
The sun must have his shade, <br> | |||
Till both at once do fade; <br> | |||
The sun still proved, the shadow still disdained! | |||

Follow thy fair sun, unhappy shadow,
Though thou be black as night,
And she made all of light;
Yet follow thy fair sun, unhappy shadow!
Follow her, whose light thy light depriveth!
Though here thou livest disgraced,
And she in heaven is placed;
Yet follow her whose light the world reviveth!
Follow those pure beams, whose beauty burneth!
That so have scorchèd thee;
As thou still black must be,
Till her kind beams thy black to brightness turneth!
Follow her, while yet her glory shineth!
There comes a luckless night
That will dim all her light;
And this the black unhappy shade divineth.
Follow still, since so thy Fates ordained!
The sun must have his shade,
Till both at once do fade;
The sun still proved, the shadow still disdained!
