## The words

I liken my love to a gossamer  
Afloat in the summer air,  
And wish that I were the west wind,  
Her form on my wings to bear;  
She is so daintily delicate,  
So pure, so rare.  
I liken my love to a butterfly By a bower of  
roses flown,  
The flowers my fellows are sleeping,  
And I am awake alone;  
I open my petals to welcome her  
To her fairy throne.  
I liken my love to a hundred things In the  
realm of fancy fine,  
Wherein I follow and woo her In the core of my  
heart to twine; Oh may she peacefully nestle  
there,  
For ever mine!
