All For You

You will walk on only green grass, with trees and lakes in the horizon, On straight paths with flowers blooming on the side. The Garden of Hesperidia surely could not compare, All for you, these things are there! Your eyes shall only see the flora and fauna, Which I will place as gifts for so see you smile, Each rose, daffodil, lily and daisy too, Will blossom, all this my love, for you. A shallow lake surrounded by oaks and pines, Where the white swans gather to dance each day for you. Cool whether to preserve your fair eyes, The eye of heaven’s beams shall follow you, this my love as your prize. Philomela will sing melodious songs each night, For your delight and to bring sweet dreams, A hand maid to you I will provide, All for you if you stay by my side. Gowns made of the deepest, purple silk, Shoes of glass and Arabic bangles and shiny gems for your hair. Jewellery made of stars and pearls for my Empress, I present all this for you, for I wish that it might impress. Dominion over all that walks and breaths I give unto you, Every wish you have shall come true at the twinkling of an eye! The sun, moon, stars are all there for you to command. To you I give all of these things, so to our paradise there will be no end.
