My Love
My love,
Your beauty cheers up the mortal eye;
In your eyes, I behold the morning light
the city of gold, the harbour bright;
You're fairer than morning, lovelier than daylight
More awesome than the stars that stray at midnight;
Your neck is adorned with jewels so rare
Your skin like the sun, so bright and fair;
The smile on your lips is the feast of the mind
and your bountiful care I can never deny;
Your body is made with fadeless bloom
and from it comes these fumes of nice perfume;
Your body is soft, full if odours sweet
Your eyes so seductive, I can't resist;
You care like a darling
and walk like a diva;
You sleep like a baby
and love like a mother;
My love, if only you could understand
that I love you so much, I can't withstand;
By grace, I'll wait till the final year
and I only wish to meet you there.
