My Irish Love

Adorn with love the maiden rose

Her face so pail and sweet.

Her eyes as green as the grass

That lay beneath her feet.

Her hair and lips, with matching red

Accentuate her face

Her dress as white as her skin

Of shiny silk and lace

As she stands before me, I can only stare

Her beauty over comes me

I try to speak, but make no sense

My words all fuddled and clumsy

She puts a finger to my lips

To silent my attempts

Then her emerald eyes look into mine

Her neck so slightly bent

Everything around her now

Is blurry as can be

Everything except her heavenly face

That’s crystal clear to me

Her eyes then close and so do mine

Our lips, they finally meet

Her lips are full, yet very soft

And taste so very sweet

We embrace ‘til sunset and into night

When the stars fill the sky

And now as the sun begins to rise

I gaze at the maiden with whom I lie

I don’t know the secrets of the earth

Or of the heavens up above

But I know with whom I’d share my life

This maiden adorn with love.
