Sweet Purity Bedecked

We two, beneath the shadow of the trees
Where daisies and wild flowers deck the ground.
The fairies of forever sing their glees. 
What greater love in life does there abound?
A brighter view, sunlight upon posies, 
Bears witness to the beauty within found.
Young lovers whisper promises betrothed.
Sweet purity upon their souls bedecked.
