Oh Lovely Maiden

Oh, fair and lovely maiden, I doth profess
That thou art the sun in my darkened night
The very breath that gives life to my chest,
And my heart's delight with thy eyes so bright

Thou art a rose, with beauty without compare,
A precious gem that cleaves to its fine setting
Thou art the fairest of the fair,
An angelic being, made for my heart's petting

My heart doth long to hear thy sweet voice,
To touch thy hand, and gaze upon thy face
And with thee by my side, I would rejoice
And find in thee a haven, a home, a place

So, lovely maiden, wilt thou be mine?
And walk with me this life's journey divine
Together we'll make a life that's sweet and fine
And on love's wings, we'll soar like birds to shine.
