Sleeping Beauty

As starlight thaws its faded rays,

And moon unveils its hidden face,

Pray and read God’s holy scripts,

Then sweetly dream as I watchest thee.

 

Chivalry’s steel can’t block love’s blade,

Knights have fallen for thee my dame;

Yet, in sleep thou sayest this,

“I do lovest thee and only thee.”

 

Now I know that our souls aren’t twain,

They are so subtly intertwined;

Our hearts are ours, sweet 'Rylynn',

Thou art for me and I am for thee.

 

As night time falls with faded rays,

And ev’ning stars shine forth with grace,

Dream in peace sleeping beauty,

Never forget, I do lovest thee.
