And This Is My Beloved Lyrics

You'd say his eyes were
Sometimes bright
but only sometimes
often dark
Well that is plain
Plain words can't tell the thrill
Then tell it how you will.

Dawn's promising skies
Petals on a pool drifting
Imagine these in one pair of eyes
And this is my beloved

Strange spice from the south
Honey through the comb sifting
Imagine these in one eager mouth
And this is my beloved

And when she speaks and when she talks to me
Music! Mystery!
And when she moves And when she walks with me
Paradise comes suddenly near

All that can stir, All that can stun
All that's for the heart's lifting
Imagine these in one perfect one
And this is my beloved

And this is my beloved!
