I FIND NO PEACE
Thomas Wyatt (1503-1542)
I find no peace, and all my war is done!. [1]
I fear and hope!. I burn and freeze like ice!.
I fly above the wind, yet can I not arise;
And nought I have, and all the world I season!. [4]
That loseth nor locketh holdeth me in prison
And holdeth me not--yet can I scape no wise--
Nor letteth me live nor die at my device,
And yet of death it giveth me occasion!. [8]
Without eyen I see, and without tongue I plain!.
I desire to perish, and yet I ask health!.
I love another, and thus I hate myself!.
I feed me in sorrow and laugh in all my pain; [12]
Likewise displeaseth me both life and death,
And my delight is causer of this strife!.
