William Shakespeare

Take, O take those Lips away

TAKE, O take those lips away,
    That so sweetly were forsworn;
And those eyes, the break of day,
    Lights that do mislead the morn!
But my kisses bring again,
                   Bring again;
Seals of love, but seal'd in vain,
                   Seal'd in vain!
