''They Flee From Me'' is a poem written by Thomas Wyatt. It is written in Rhyme royal and was included in Arthur Quiller-Couch's edition of the Oxford Book of English Verse. The poem has been described as possibly autobiographical, and referring to any one of Wyatt's affairs with high-born women of the court of Henry VIII, perhaps with Anne Boleyn. ''They flee from me'' :''They flee from me, that sometime did me seek'' :''With naked foot stalking in my chamber.'' :''I have seen them gentle, tame, and meek'' :''That now are wild and do not remember'' :''That sometime they put themself in danger'' :''To take bread at my hand; and now they range,'' :''Busily seeking with a continual change.'' :''Thanked be fortune it hath been otherwise'' :''Twenty times better; but once in special,'' :''In thin array, after a pleasant guise,'' :''When her loose gown from her shoulders did fall,'' :''And she me caught in her arms long and small,'' :''Therewithal sweetly did me kiss'' :''And softly said, "Dear heart, how like you this?"'' :''It was no dream,I lay broad waking.'' :''But all is turned, thorough my gentleness,'' :''Into a strange fashion of forsaking;'' :''And I have leave to go, of her goodness,'' :''And she also to use newfangleness.'' :''But since that I so kindely am served,'' :''I fain would know what she hath deserved.''〔The Norton Anthology of English Literature, Seventh Edition, Volume 1, 2000, Norton & Company, London〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「They Flee from Me」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
