Juliet: <br />I will be thy chased rose and take thy name. <br /> My heart will continue drumming its love for you the same; <br />And though thy mother and father mean nothing to me— <br />You are the sun rising over the bosom of my heart’s sea. <br />I will go with you hand in young hand <br />And be like your shadow roaming with you across the land. <br />In your eyes I see the myriad truths of my own soul <br />A kaleidoscope of sea shells in a pretty bowl— <br />To you, my love, I will always be true— <br />And that is why I say that I do— <br /> <br />Romeo: <br />To think that the very sun I saw last night should so suddenly be mine <br />It gives me proof, at last, in a god that is kind— <br />For to you, I will be the very bird returning to burn in your sky: <br />And every night, I hope that with you in bed I lie— <br />So happy I am that you should become the rose that bares my name— <br />To your midnight’s balcony I am so glad I came— <br />Now if we can only escape the dark fate I am so afraid that I see <br />And that you can go on forever with me. <br />Now let me take your lips to my lips <br />and share for a moment an eternity’s bliss.<br /><br />Robert Rorabeck<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/romeo-and-juliet-s-wedding-vows/
