Love


from the ABC set Thoughts and Whispers.

Oh wouldst thou be mine forever?
From dawns first light ‘til darkness falls
Be but my love and I’ll ask no more of thee

Thou art more fair than heavens angels
More soft than winters snow

My heart beats the melody of thy name
My eyes seek thy face and would be happy to see nothing else

Oh wouldst thou be mine for just one day?
One moment with thy beautiful soul
Would last eternally
My love
My all

Wouldst thou give your heart to me?
Wouldst thou take my own?

Oh tender one!

My world I give to you
My word

Oh wouldst thou love, my love?
Love to be loved
To Love

I ask no more from thee
Let me love you.

'More soft then winters snow...' than?

'Wouldst thou take my own?'...mine?

I like this. Have incorporated this 'Olde English' myself at times for effect. It is very readable and enforces the message (for me). Well done!
