Gentle maiden full of love
Thou to me didst come
          like an angel sent from above
Thou open'd thine heart
          and bade me to come in
Giving me this peace within

On wings of love didst thou come
Coming on morns first light
          with the rising of the sun
Singing with sweetest voice
          Heaven's gentlest song
Knowing that for it I longed

Gentle maiden, tarry I pray
Stay with mine heart
          till cometh the new day
And when thou depart
          again to thy home
Then true love I will have known

This should be read with some Shakespearean music in the background. It's a good one!

Just lovely are your thoughts.
Such a pleasure always to read the beautiful
pouring forth of your romantic phrases.

Very beautiful indeed...     marcy

may you find your heart's desires

caressed with the boldness of His touch
a love that compares to none other
