This one was written with a particular young lady friend of mine from High school in Toronto in mind. Kindof late, as I had moved to Belleville by then and I don’t think she ever saw it, but, hey, I was missing my old friends I guess.

The grace of this frame,
Of this face,
The radiance of these sparkling eyes,
Is but trivial compared,
To the beauty of what lies within.
It is this soul,
Singing to me with your glorious voice,
That has entwined my thoughts.
‘Tis this heart,
Shining with virtue and kindness,
That my spirit seeks.
It is this heart and soul,
And all their trappings,
That I love.
