To Ziza (taken from a book)

I have seen the dawn and sunset

On moons and windy hills

Coming in solemn beauty

Like slow old tunes of songs.

I have seen the lady on April

Bringing the daffodills

Bringing the spring grass

And the soft warm of April rain.

I have heard the songs of the blossom

And the old chant of the sea

And seen strange landsform

Under the arched white sails of ships;

But the loveliest thing of beauty

God ever has show to me,

Are your voice, and your hair, and eyes,

And the dear red curve of your lips.

And with these things;

I adore you with all my heart

Oh my Ziza, come live with me and be my love.
