My Beloved

My Beloved

My beloved, compared to other women
    You are like a lily among thorns.
I am overcome by one glance of your eyes.
    You are my treasure; you are my bride.
You are like a spring that no one else can drink from.
    A fountain of my own.

Look away for your eyes overcome me.
    Given every choice under heaven,
I would still choose you.
    You are my perfect one.
Your eyes are like the sparkling pools.
    They blind me with their gaze.

Oh how delightful you are.
    Oh how beautiful you are.
Your lips are like a ribbon of scarlet.
    You have ravished my heart.
How sweet is your love.
    Honey & cream are under your tongue.

Your voice is so pleasant.
    I hear angels when you speak.
Hearing its sound defies all expression.
    How soft & inviting is its tone.
It’s like a soothing melody to my soul.
    It plays softly in my ear & haunts my mind.

My beloved…Be my love…Loved by me.
    By my love forever I will be.
Love me by the shores of eternity.
    Me by love do I promise thee;
My love be for only you & you for only me. 
    My beloved…Love be mine…My love you’ll always be.
