To what should I compare thee?
A Diamond?
Hewn from God's earth
Translucent giver of light
Friend of maidens?
An Emerald?
Depths of the oceans
Early cornfields
Mermaids delight
A crown of jealousy?
A Sapphire?
Beauty of the night sky
By Royal command
The view of evening mountains
Or, the sadness within?
A Ruby?
The colour of blood
The bringer of fire and flame
Piercer of the heart
Vision of the setting sun?
None!
For the most beautiful
The most precious
The most desirable
Is thee!
