Lover, when first I saw thee
My heart did skip a beat,
Your beauty was unmatched
Throughout the land complete.
Your raven locks of silk
Wafting in the wind,
Would surely launch a thousand ships,
Your honor to defend.
Your skin so soft and supple
Beneath my weathered hand,
Would send a man to frenzy,
From every foreign land.
Your ruby lips so sweet
Brought forth the siren’s song,
For but a moment’s taste,
Men dreamt the whole day long.
Your eyes like diamonds shone
The splendor of your face,
That the gold in every vault
Could never have replaced.
And though some years have added
A wrinkle here or there,
Your beauty still unmatched,
Remains beyond compare.
