My Love

Russell Powell Jacoby (1862–1899)

(Her Portrait)

MY love is beautiful and sweet.

All good and gentle graces meet

In her, in loveliness complete.

My love is precious. Nor for me

In all this world on land or sea

Can other worthy treasure be.

My love is constant. In her eyes

True, pure, and steadfast, beauty lies

Serene and noble as the skies.
