SONG, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Oh, what hath overwrought
Last Line: Happy light to love's dreams.
Subject(s): Happiness; Joy; Delight


OH, what hath overwrought
My all amazèd thought
Till time and truth hath taught,
I labour all for naught.
The day I see is clear,
But I am ne'er thee near,
For grief doth still appear,
To cross our merry cheer,
While I can nothing hear,
But Winter all the year,
Cold, hold: the sun will shine warm.
Therefore, now fear no harm.
O blessèd beams,
Where beauty streams
Happy light to love's dreams.
