You Are Lovely

You are lovely and few
can outdo your beauty
when your eyes sparkle like dew
in the early morning while you smile in modesty

and they both have the colour of all the oceans
displaying feelings of tender gladness
bringing something sweet to emotions
in a world of sheer madness

and when I look at you countenance
in my heart stormy winds are waken
while love and loveliness fill every glance
while to the depths of my soul I am shaken

while you are so vivacious
and this very moment becomes extremely precious.
