Dazzling threads of silk entwined <br />Velvet hair like gold it shines <br />Your magic eyes doth cast a spell <br />That charm'd my soul when'st beheld <br />A quaint beauty thou doth possess <br />My heart beats for thee within my breast <br />A song of love it joyfull plays <br />Each time by chance you gaze my way <br />Stolen glances I oft took of you <br />For it be your smile I was drawn too <br />Though I know your lips I shan't ne'er kiss <br />Behold they a power I can't resist <br />So I bare thee thoughts of romance that cannot be <br />Inspired simply by the sight of thee<br /><br />John A.
