Did I say,
Sweetheart,
That you are
Like the sun,
And the moon,
Like the flowers,
And the rivers ?
Forgive me,
Sweetheart,
If I did.
How could I
Compare you
To the sun,
And the moon,
To the flowers,
And the rivers,
When your eyes
Are bluer
Than the color
Of the skies,
And wider
Than the rivers,
Your smile Is brighter
Than the rays
Of the sun,
Your cheeks
Are prettier
Than the flowers ?
Did I
Compare you,
Sweetheart,
To the sun,
And the moon,
To the flowers,
And the rivers ?
Forgive me,
Sweetheart,
If I did,
For you are
More beautiful
Than all
The gardens,
And the skies,
All the rivers,
And the seas.
