Eclipsed by You

Can ever woman born of woman match

Allurance found by me in you this day?

Let all who stand in competition say

Look now and judge, and those who can’t dispatch.

I’d see before me all the world and find

Outrageous beauty laid before my eyes.

Prodigious choice indeed for such a prize,

Enthralled by you, the rest would be declined.


My dearest muse, from all the world to choose,

Your precious presence, all I would desire.

Let all of womankind stand in despair,

Observing choices such, they all would lose.

Veneer of beauty hold they, I’m aware,

Eclipsed by you, who solely lights my fire.
