When at first my eyes beheld you,
how you were so fair and lovely,
I did not think in all my days
to see a thing that was more fair,
than in that pair of beauteous eyes
to gaze and gaze forever more.
But since then long o thee I've gazed,
until you did become my bride;
and then again methought I should
see nothing fairer, nor ever could,
nor on thy crimson mouth to press
an endless kiss of tenderness.
Since then I've kissed so oft, so long,
and my wife you have become,
and may ever rest assured
that there can nothing fairer be
than with a dear wife
to be one in soul and body.
