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.

This is marvelous. It expresses the fire of emotion so fully and completely. It expresses the meaning of attraction beyond compare. Can you tell I really like it? Barbara--I am very impressed. I love the style--it is so noble.
