Something like a book, a perfume, or a rose.
She can read the book wherever she goes.

It is the very place I will be greatly missing.

And seek to justify!
They know we know they lie.
We know they can't deny.

I can't be safe ere love she gives,
When I want to be closely near her,
When I advance in both her love and care,

But step by step, our souls flame.
We crawl before we learn to walk.
We babble before we learn to talk.
...

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Please do and let me have my say.

Thou art more lovely and more temperate.

Peace was the first thing I eagerly learned.
Peace, the world's main hope and ambition,
Is the ultimate goal and name of my religion.
