Soft-spoken, mild, obedient,
A good girl who believes in God,
Such was the blessing I was sent,
Who let me love her mind and bod.
She wasn't old but she was wise
In how a woman serves a man,
And gives him, not just sweetest eyes,
But her allegiance, as she can.
Devotion, Lord, and rites of pa**ion,
As in the holy name fulfilled,
Not jealousy nor quest for fashion
To ever see his pa**ion k**ed.
Forgive me, Lord, if it is wrong
For many loves as this to long.
