She empleshes night like a rich jewel
Like diamond earings
Too beautiful for everyday use,
Too valuble for this world.
She stands out like a snow white dove
Amoung all of the crows.
Did my heart not know
What real love was till now?
My eyes don’t need to look any further
Because I hadn’t seen true beauty
Before this great night.
When she speaks
I hear nothing
She is far too beautiful.
Though her eyes
Speak for her,
And I can answer them.
Her eyes,
They are the most beautiful stars
In all the sky.
They make the birds sing
Because they are so bright
They would think
That day was now night.
Love, it did speak with me today
And I gave all my eyes.
I may not be perfect,
Though if you were as far away as the furthest shore
Of the most distant sea,
I’d search of such a prize as you.
