YOUR cheeks are pinker than the rose, <br />Your eyes are bluer than the skies; <br />Than you no fairer blossom grows, <br />In you all earthly sweetness lies. <br />Without you life were drear to me, <br />I dream of you the night long through; <br />Oh, sweetheart! hear my humble plea: <br />Please let me hook your waists for you. <br /> <br />Your voice is sweet as song of birds, <br />Your eyes would shame the stars above; <br />There is no power in written words <br />To truly tell you how I love. <br />When I 'm with you I 'm trouble free, <br />But absent, desolate and blue, <br />Darling, I pray you'll hear my plea: <br />Please let me hook your waists for you.<br /><br />Edgar Albert Guest<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-valentine-18/
