The soft Sun this Morn
Warmd my heart and bones
And inspired these verses
Writ for you and you alone:
Lovely like a fresh new Day,
Beauty the Night compares,
Eyes like the Sun in May
Sweet the Smiles you wear.
Your Hair the silky flowing Veil
Crown from Venus stole
The Stars dost nightly hail,
The slender tow’r of your Nose.
The sacred shrine of your cheeks
Your lips the altar stage
Command from my pilgrim lips
A thousand kisses of homage.
O' how I love to love you
