Couch Wisdom with Dingo

when most i wink, then do mine eyes best see;
for all the day they view things unrespected,
But when i sleep, in dreams they look on thee,
and darkly bright, are bright in dark directed.
then thou whose shadow shadows doth make bright,
how would thy shadow's form form happy show
to the clear day with thy much clearer light,
when to unseeing eyes they shade shines so?
how would (i say) mine eyes be blessed made
by looking on thee in thy living day,
when in dead night they fair imperfect shade
through heavy sleep on sightless eyes doth say?
all days are nights to see till i see thee,
and nights bright days when dreams do show they me.
