They were there sitting in early spring,
Sitting upon the lake with each ring,
Looking at what nature might bring,
The couple held hands as they lay in the sling,
...
My friend, do not be so rash!
Do you not know what love is?
'Tis not a thing you can lust for,
And something you can use.
...
Reflect, and you will always have time to think,
But you will gain insights into the world
Around you, and you will understand the things
That really matter in this world,
...
Your beauty is expressed in eyes most green,
Luscious and savory, they sparkle in the sun;
Your soul and goodness is quite unseen,
But your joy makes us what is one.
...
Who are you,
The one who calls himself
Poet among mankind that seeks
To describe the world through verse,
...
How old am I,
To know that my years are long since gone,
For I have lived my life many years and have
Known that there has been a lot to live for.
...
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And all that is within me, bless His holy name.
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And forget none of His benefits;
...
Praise the Lord, my soul.
Lord my God, You are very great;
You are clothed with splendour and majesty.
The Lord wraps Himself in light as with a garment;
...
O give thanks unto the Lord; call upon His name:
Make known His deeds among the people.
Sing unto Him, sing psalms unto Him:
Talk ye of His wondrous works.
...
