Verse 1
F
If the dull substance of my
C
flesh were thought
F
Dm
G
Injurious distance should not stop my way
C
For then despite of space
F
C
I would be brought
G
From limits far remote where
C
F
thou dost stay
G
No matter then although my foot did stand
C
Upon the farthest earth
F
removed from thee
For nimble thought can
G
jump both sea and land
C
F
As soon as think the place
where he would be
G
C
Ah! But thought kills me that
F
Dm
C
I am not thought
To leap large lengths of
G
miles when thou art gone
C
But that so much of earth
F
C
and water wrought
G
I must attend time's leisure
C
Em
with my moan
Am
G
Em
Receiving nought by elements so slow
Dm
F
But heavy tears,
Am
badges of either's woe

Verse 2
Am
C
The other two, slight air and purging fire
G
C
Are both with thee, wherever I abide
F
The first my thought, the other my desire
C
These present- absent
Am
with swift motion slide
For when these quicker elements are gone
G
In tender embassy of love to thee
F
My life, being made of four,
C
with two alone
Sinks down to death,
Am
oppress'd with melancholy
G
Until life's composition be recured
By those swift messengers
F
return'd from thee
C
Who even but now come back again,
assured
Am
Of thy fair health, recounting it to me
G
F
This told, I joy; but then no longer glad
I send them back again and straight
C
G
grow sad
