OUR LOVE IS OLD

 

Our love is old,

Our love is true,

When we’re apart

Our hearts are blue

I love you madly

And you love me too

WHAT MORE BEAUTY

 

What more beauty could there be

Than in a maiden lithe of limb

With perfect elegance and grace

And a figure both sleek and trim

Beheld in the vision of a man

Who thinks she only has eyes for him

ODE TO MY BEAU

You hold back the night

With your gallantry

You subdue my fears

With your chivalry

You hold me in the light

With your passion for me

 

HOW FAIR BE YOUR COUNTENANCE

 

How fair be your countenance

A beauty fairer than the Rose?

How fair be your fragrance

Is it as pleasing to the nose?

How do you compare to the flower

Perhaps this year you are equals

But with each year passing

You will not match its sequels

RAVEN HEADED MAIDEN FAIR

 

All I can do is stand and stare

At the raven headed maiden fair

The girl with the flowing black hair

Oh beautiful maiden standing there

With tresses of flowing black hair

Please be the answer to my prayer

ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE

 

The grass is always greener

And the senses were keener

So I committed a misdemeanour

 

And when away she flew

To her green pastures new

My foolish heart was torn in two

WE HAVE LIVED OUR LIVES TOGETHER

 

We have lived our lives together

And we have reached our Novembers

The once burning fires of our lives

Have been reduced to meagre embers

And yet we can still look forward

To us both sharing our Decembers
