TO MY BELOVED'S BEAUTY

TO MY BELOVED'S BEAUTY

O my Love! The yonder stars, out of gashing embarrassment, are blushing,
The blooming flowers, out of jaundiced jealousy, are flushing;
For, before your matchless Beauty, they feel themselves much inferior,
And your presence embellishes more than they can, the Nature's interior!

O my Love! You do glitter better, in the mesmerized mirror of my mind's eye,
Even the Full Moon seems shy and sunken glimpsing at your luscious Beauty in my life's sky!
The exquisite Fairies whisper glumly for being surpassed by your sublime Beauty,
To eulogize your Grace, streams murmur; birds twitter and winds sing as if busy in their duty!

O my Love! Beauty and you are the twin sisters, but you, the older one,
Reddest cherries and you were born of the same lineage, still you, the sweeter one!
The synonym of "Uniqueness" is "You", has been coined by the modified Oxford Lexicon,
For, your inner Beauty emits more virtuous shines than many constellations of Suns can!
