Ballad of Gems (3)
Would I had means to give muse bright Tokens of my desire: Diamonds to sparkle from the light That all of dreams inspire.
I would send pearls, as smooth as dream, To rest upon her skin. Not quite a kiss to heart redeem, But touch to hopes begin.
She feeds my dreams with her replies: My dreams would to muse send Emeralds, jealous of her eyes, To lesser beauties lend.
Her lips arouse passions: I'd choose To give a gem of heat: Ruby, to blush beside my muse, And brighter fires meet.
I cannot dreams of muse deny: I wish that I could give Sapphires to look as stars in sky That muse midst heaven live.
I offer muse my heart, and hands To ease all of her aches. Not that she any gift demands, But for desires' sakes.
