A Valentine From Long Ago

Mine eyes espy thy golden hair No crown of gilded jewels more fair Wither you go, you go with grace Sweet one, ye who are so fair of face I beseech you, tarry here a bit Canst thou come and by me sit I come to ye on bended knee Oh, thou art the very heart of me....

Just beautiful! The way you express everything has a golden touch to it. I didn't know there were that many people out there that could write older English.

wow, very romantic and sounding so elegant like from that romantic era. There is a contest for that type of poem, right? I will have to see about that again.
