My Lady

Please be my lady, now and forever.
This love for you, I'll not sever.
I'll take you in my arms at night,
We'll hold each till it turns daylight.
You are so lovely and so clever,
Our love will brave the very worst weather.
You'll be to me so soft and light,
You'll shine to me in darkness bright.

I'll take you in my arms at night,
We'll hold each other til it turns daylight.
Your warmth, your smell, your skin so fair;
With hair and smile as light as air.
You'll be to me so soft and light,
You'll shine to me in darkness bright.
I look to you as one who cares,
A life together we will share.

Your warmth, your smell, your skin so fair;
With hair and smile as light as air.
The way you talk is so divine.
These are the moments I know you're mine.
I look at you as one who cares,
A life together we will share.
When you and I shall sit and dine,
We'll share together a glass of wine.

The way you talk is so divine.
These are the moments I know your mine.
You are so lovely and so clever,
Our love will brave the very worst weather.
When you and I shall sit and dine, 
We'll share together a glass of wine.
Please be my lady now and forever,
This love for you' I'll not sever.

This is what I call a double pantoum as it's pantoum style but done in couplets.
If you read ever other line you're reading a regular pantoum

I meant to say it was the first time I had read a double. I once wrote a Rondeau Redouble. Whew!
