Beloved
I delight to sit in her
shade
A fruit sweet to my
taste
Her left arm braces
me
Her right arm
embraces me
A paint of my heart
For i am a faint to
her love
Show me your face
Let me hear your
voice
Turn you eyes from
me
For they overwhelm
me
Your love appears as
dawn
Fair as the
moon,bright as the
sun of dawn
Majestic as the stars
in procession
A heart of a better
profession and
declaration
I place you as a seal
over my heart
Water's cannot
quench your love
River's cannot wash
it away
If one were to give
All the wealth of her
life for your love
It would be utterly
scorned
O love come this way
That they may all
gaze on you
Come back come back
this way
For you never left
As the flowing blood
streaming down my
heart
