Sonnet II

He that reads my absolute yes

Neglects not to look on many a silent no.

I that have his eternal bless

Dismiss not but admit the subtle woe.

The two on a tandem fall never on one another

But in union, only to sept up and go a little further.

We look not back at what remains behind,
Nor hinder our way with that which baits our mind.

He with a determination, that is of gentility

And of devotion, finds me here inspired.

I with affention of immutability

And of cultivation, return his heart so desired.

Yes, we join our humble anticipation.

Of tomorrow ever so large in this true relation.
