SONNET, by                    
First Line: Since you are done and I must now depart
Last Line: Though wounds are healed the scars do yet remain.
Subject(s): Ambition


Since you are done and I must now depart,
Then shall I kiss you once without a tear,
And midst your conquered let my name appear,
But first I pray you give me back my heart;
The sear you made will never cease to smart,
Alas, the flame of love has blown too near;
Alas, a certain name has grown too dear,
And now you bid me lightly to depart.

The wound of winter's cruel relentless hand,
Bleeds deeply red upon the cold white snow,
A sear which can't be washed aside by rain;
But spring has come again upon the land,
And healed the depthful wounds; but still you know,
Though wounds are healed the scars do yet remain.
