Why I Love Her SO.

She is shapely,
She is fair
Eyes like stars,
And golden hair;
Yet not for these
Alone, you know,
Do | love
My darling so.
She has lips
OF cherry red.
Teeth like pearls
I'm rivers bed;
Little hands
AS white as snow;
That's not why
/ love her so.
But her eyes,
Like stars above,
Are so kindly
Full of love.
Bringing joy
Though there be woe;
That is Why
i love her so.
And her lips
OF cherry red.
Words SO loving
Have they said,
Words so tender
When they flow;
That is why
love her so.
And her hands.
So fair and white,
Scatter blessings
Day and night.
Then with love
Her hearts aglow;
That is why
love her so.
