Thomas Wyatt - The long love that in my heart doth harbor lyrics

The long love, that in my heart doth harbor And in mine heart doth keep his residence, Into my face presseth with bold pretense, And there campeth, displaying his banner. She that me learneth to love and to suffer, And wills that my trust and lust's negligence Be reined by reason, shame, and reverence, With his hardiness taketh displeasure. Wherewith love to the heart's forest he fleeth, Leaving his enterprise with pain and cry, And there him hideth and not appeareth. What may I do when my master feareth But in the field with him to live and die? For good is the life ending faithfully.
