possibly by Thomas Wyatt, Sir (1503 - 1542)
All for Love of One
Language: English
Available translation(s): DUT
I must go walk the wood so wild And wander here and there In dread and deadly fear, For where I trusted I am beguiled, And all for love of one. Thus am I banished from my bliss By craft and false pretence, Faultless, without offence, As of return no certain is, And all for love of one The running streams shall be my drink, Acorns shall be my food. Nothing may do me good But when of your beauty I do think, And all for love of one.
