I’ll write a sonnet for you every day
And serenade with songs to stir your smile,
I’ll purse my lips and blow the clouds away
That sunshine dance upon your hair a while.
I’ll bring red roses heaven-blessed by rain,
Ambrosia sweets to charm your waiting tongue,
Downy comforts to rest your gentle frame
That you may feast on dreams when day is done.
I’ll bring you ribbons wrought from rainbows too
And satin dresses tincture touched by dawn,
A diadem of diamond dappled dew;
Soft sunset slippers shadow steeped in gloam.
All this and more, as best ardor may prove—
To win your heart and ever be your love.
