My love beyond compare

To sing her praise, all other loves I'd shun;
And when at last we're wed, upon her head;
Sweet kisses I will shower, one by one;
Then stroke her hair, so lustrous, and so red.
And in her lovely ears, throughout the night,
I'll whisper tender words, and when she speaks
In tones like sweetest music that delight
My smitten heart, and which her love bespeaks,
For me, so from my eyes hot tears do flow
In grateful thanks that such a love I've found;
I thank the god of love who did bestow,
On me such fortune, all my sorrows drowned.
There is no sea, I for my love so fair,
Or desert bare, to cross I would not dare.
