Thieves, Death and Absence, come
No more to my heart's home:
Behold my chambers bare,
I make no thing my care.
As fast as I aught bring
In place of stolen thing,
One of ye two doth come
Again to my heart's home.
Henceforth I'll leave it bare,
Cold winds shall enter there;
For nothing keep I can -
Of plant, or beast, or man.
