Amorous Verity
'I love you! ', this is all I really wish to say-
Yet, my want to drink in your beauty increases every day;
Oh yes! -then there is the fact of my incessant rumination
Upon your every aspect, and resolve toward our determination.
Then again, as I pause, to further ponder-
I may not count as uninspiring, any facet of your angelic wonder:
Many pages may be filled, with many words written,
To endeavor to elucidate the degree to which I am smitten;
'I adore you! '- to hear these words I am sure is quite nice-
Yet, to encapsulate my ardor, it does not even approach suffice!
If you should allow that I, indeed, may-
I shall endeavor most ardently, in every possible way,
To further evice you of but one point, most salient:
You are the amorous verity, for which I am the most dutiful appreciant!
