Love
I will not say my true love's eyes
Love
I will not say my true love's eyes
Outshine the noblest star;
But in their depth of lustre lies
My peace, my truce, my war.
I will not say upon her neck
Is white to shame the snow;
For if her bosom hath a speck
I would not have it go.
My love is as a woman sweet,
And as a woman white;
Who's more than this is more than meet
For me and my delight.
