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.
