I Long for Your Truant Inspiration

I long for your truant inspiration,
O Muse, for I've felt your absence too long;
empower me to sing a gay, new song,
that with pen I may still bring creation!
Reappear, Muse, to my great elation:
for you can never do me ill or wrong;
arrive! so that my distress won't prolong,
nor shall persist the source of my frustration.
For your return shall cripple disrepair
of my Parnassus, and will have its sway:
so the cease of my creative despair,
like spring that reanimates life everywhere,
will dawn on this most, most auspicious day
when comes alive this sonnet through this way!
