Ode to my soul mate

Shall I offer thee a beauteous day?
And take thee to become gay…..?
Thou art my only love I say,
Always in thy heart I wish to stay.

Shall I love thee in every way?
And save my life free from decay….?
Thou art my only love I say,
Always in thy heart I wish to stay.

Shall I spread my dreams where you tread?
And garland my feelings round your head?
Thou art my only love say,
Always in thy heart I wish to stay.

Two things in the world, to do I wish,

In thy love to live, in thy love to perish.
