Ode To My Love (Old English)

What wondrous beauty lies within these eyes 
Fairest creature in face and Divine form 
Thy vision lovelier than summer skies 
In thee, my true happiness now reborn 
Lay with thine loving hand upon my heart 
Breath of love whispered soft upon my cheek 
Please, fear not that we shall be torn apart 
For our love be strong, not shallow or weak
Hold my love close, keep it forever near 
Clasped in thy sweet beauty, thy shining light
Draw upon its strength, to silence thy fear
To guide thee through shadows in darkened night 
  Oh beauty, until thou art mine once more 
  Remember my love be steadfast and pure
