Far in the East, a woman’s face sails ships
Where boundless sea doth marry endless sun
Shine fairest maid, unveil thy rosy lips
That daylight’s kiss so purely hath begun
Thy bloom tis rare and heart bewitching be
As nature bows in reverent esteem
Oh fragrant rose tis bold thy purity
Where garden’s grow the eye of God redeem
Cherry blossom holdeth no light to thee
For Spring reborn within doth bid hearts dance
Raise high the strain make merry melody
That stems from grace that n’er be left to chance
One thing I add, as verse by verse advance
For west winds blow my life in thee enhance.
