I love my love for she is like a garden in the dawn,
Pale, yet pink-flushed, with softly waking
eyes,
And primrose hair that brightens to gold
skies,
And petalled lips for dew to linger on.
I love my love for she is like the mirror of the moon,
(A sweet, small moon but newly come to
birth)
So full of heaven is she, so close to
earth,
So versed in holy spell and magic rune.
I love my love. O words that be too feeble and
too few!
I love my love! as April on
the hill
Brings back earth’s morning with
each daffodil,
So she within my heart makes all things new.
