Fantasy Poem by John Florio

Fantasy

O beloved... my sweetest darling,
To make you believe how do I say;
Be sure; do not afraid of parting,
I won't leave you, come what may.

Looking at you, I am really happy,
So never do stay out from my sight;
Without you, all my happiness tarry,
That I can neither catch nor fight.

Yeah! my life without you is a bore,
So you are the one I always desire;
Let's love each other more and more;
No less than our hearts really require.

Let me see your smile, not the frown,
And never curl your lips, my love;
I promise you I'll never let you down,
I will always be as loyal as a dove.

I'll keep you safe in my gentle heart,
Where no sorrow is able to touch you;
I would have asked you from the start,
But I was afraid that you woud not do.

Are you certain, or still in the doubt,
To come and stay on this secure place;
As my heart is all whispering about,
To be filled to brim this empty space.
