Fair maiden, thy beauty exceeds that of the loveliest flowers of the valley.
The charm, warmth, gaiety, and love which you possess are all befitting of thee.
No other may lay claim to the natural grace with which you have been endowed.
Thy presence enlightens my life with a radiance equal to that of the sun.
Thy gentle voice comes to me in a whisper, like the tender breeze of spring.
Fair maiden, fear not my love, for I shall respect your sensitivity,
And I shall never deny your right of freedom.
Allow me, please, to walk with you through the beauty of life.
I shall be what I am: a humble man, capable only of loving you.
Sept. 1, 1979
