Proposal

In the glow of the autumn fire
your eyes warm me.

With bouquet
of winter rose you sweeten
our room; your lilting voice lifts
away night's misty gloom.

So why ever
should we die?

My heart beats
in steady time with yours,
and my mind seeks words
to shine for you
like diamonds.

Oh, my love, let's live here
forever!
