I Dream of Thee

SPARKLING EYES IN POOLS SO DEEP WHENCE DISTANT LAND THOU CAME. LAY THINE HEAD UPON MINE BREAST PRAY WHISPER ME THY NAME. PRAY DID THOU COME FROM HEAVEN TO BLESS MINE EYES WITH THEE. STILL MINE HEART FROM BEATING FAST SHRIFT AN ANGEL THOU MUST BE. WILL THY DON THINE PARTICOAT TO DANCE WITH ME THIS NIGHT. DRAW THINE ARMS IN WARM EMBRACE FROM HENCE TIL MORNING LIGHT. THOU BRINGS MINE HEART TO QUICKEN HENCEFORTH TIL MY DAYS DOTH END. IM GAST THIS NIGHT BE OVER SOON ALL ANGELS DOTH ASCEND.

Hi Jan, I'm trying to compete with Shakespeare, lol. Couldn't believe how hard it was to try and make it rhyme. TAKE care.:-):-)
