Thou Art Fair My Love

As the lilly among thorns, so is love among humans As the apple tree among the trees of the wood So is love among earth treasures, a fountain sealed If thou know not, O thou fairest among all things Many water cannot quench love, neither the flood drown it Love is white and ruddy, the cheifest among ten thousand Love is unbais, true to the soul and mind No iota of deceit, so pure like a plain sheet Behold thou art fair, my love, behold thou art fair I have compare thee to the company of lillies And thy neck to fine lines like thread of scarlet Beloved thou art fair, oh my love, thou art fair With strength so mighty like graphene and heart so precious My beloved is mine and I am his, joined steadfast.
