My Angel of Earth
Beauty, of your deep eyes entangle me,
Glorious blonde locks, a sweet pout on air,
Cursed will days know where I can not see,
Cursed to not declare your face so fair,
Oh beautiful daughter of the pure knight,
Your sweet crescent laughter echoes mourn's song,
You brighten my days and fulfill my night,
Sweet angel of earth; never do you wrong,
Truly I lay there in a shattered state,
Whenever I feel your body leave bed,
Covered in only a sheet and love's fate,
Oh how your beauty plays tricks in my head,
You are my source of light and without thee,
I would be a lonely man at the most,
Angel of earth, how can you ever be?
Please hear once more to my lovingly toast,
Angel, I will love you until I die,
For my love you will never have to try.
