How beautiful arth thou?
i ask the moon which shyethh from thou bossom.
and the sun that dimmers in thou presence.
Say they may: we arth mere firefiles
and thou beloved is the day that never sets.
how exceptional arth thou?
i ask the leaves of mint which seem unscented in thou presence
and the sugarbeat which taste bitter after testing thou.
say they may: we are but mere sprinkles
and thou beloved is a banquet.
how loved art thou?
ask none but me.
ask none besides me!
say i may: i am a mere wasp,
in passionate endeavour to be blessed by thou flame!
