  1. To My Love

    Share Share Post
    My charming lovely one so dear.
    I oft do think that you are near.
    My thoughts are on you day and night.
    My only joy and hearts delight..
    Your handsome figure youthful and tender.
    With heaving breast and waist so slender.
    To sing your praise it is my duty.
    For you are a paragon of perfect beauty.
    And now sweet maid if you're inclined.
    In wedlock bands with me to join.
    I'LL happy be for ever more.
    For you're the one that i adore.
