Give Me Unto Romance
Give me unto romance,
That my darkness disappear,
Thy winsome speech,
Dost gladness teach,
Thy gentle reach,
My hands beseech,
Thy radiance so clear.
Throw me into romance,
That my fears wouldst melt away,
Thy soulful eyes,
Perfection’s guise,
Thy being wise,
A matchless prize,
Resplendent as the day.
Gift me unto romance,
That my dolefulness be spent,
Thy precious face,
Arrayed in lace,
Prodigious grace,
As fingers trace,
Thy body’s ornament.
Dower me in romance,
That the heavens shy from view,
With passions keen,
In heights serene,
So rapt I glean,
Thy laughing mien,
And reticence eschew.
Pledge me unto romance,
In thy paradisic thrall,
Thy restful touch,
To which I clutch,
Restoring much,
Forever such,
That naught of pain befall.
Empower me in romance,
That my strength redouble great,
Thy precious skin,
Thy happy grin,
Thy fingers win,
My joy within,
Exalting every trait!
Entrance me in thy romance,
For mine eyes are spent of tears,
The luscious light,
The slow delight,
The heaven’s height,
In clothes of white,
Tis thee my soul reveres!
