Sonnet 104
Petrarch
(original version;  the inspiration for Liszt's piano solo)


Upon the sea I sail tonight
Aboard this sturdy shipeth;
Sweet are my thoughts of kisses light
That I planted on your lipeth.

A thousand kisses upon us rained
from heaven, like a thousand pennies;
Shy innocence you so aptly feigned
After dinner that night at Denny's.

Above me  fleecy clouds drift by,
So soft, so fleecy, fleecy;
Some look like ducks to my sad eye,
Some look like geesey, geesey.

No duck, no goose, no fleecy cloud
Tonight can bring me lucketh;
Only your beauty contains the power
To make this night cease to sucketh.
