You paint the butterfly in beautiful hues
You paint the sky in blue
Paint me too beautiful with thine eyes
Wrap me tenderly like a butterfly
Soak my hair in the wine of thy kiss
Embrace me gently like the breeze
There is a fire kindled in my heart
From the very flame of your eyes as they dart
My soul longs for you
Be my star and i'll be your moon
If there be room for me to rest
Pray thee, lay me at thy breast.
