SHE was a phantom of delight When first she gleam'd upon my sight; A lovely apparition, sent To be a moment's ornament; Her eyes as stars of twilight fair; Like twilight's, too, her dusky hair; But all things else about her drawn From May-time and the cheerful dawn; A dancing shape, an image gay, To haunt, to startle, and waylay.
I saw her upon nearer view, A Spirit, yet a Woman too! Her household motions light and free, And steps of virgin liberty; A countenance in which did meet Sweet records, promises as sweet; A creature not too bright or good For human nature's daily food; For transient sorrows, simple wiles, Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears, and smiles.
And now I see with eye serene The very pulse of the machine; A being breathing thoughtful breath, A traveller between life and death; The reason firm, the temperate will, Endurance, foresight, strength, and skill; A perfect Woman, nobly plann'd, To warn, to comfort, and command; And yet a Spirit still, and bright With something of angelic light.

That magical night we met We met in the night We saw the stars We saw the shimmer light on the water That magical night we met We danced under the stars We danced under the moon We held each other tight under the fireworks
That magical night we met We made the stars shine brighter We made the moon glow deeper We made the fireworks flash higher
That magical night we met We made time stand still We made our hearts run fast We made the water stand still
That magical night we met.

Give You This Rose
I give you this rose I give you my heart But don't be sad For it's only a start
I give you this rose I give you my love That was passed on to me From Heaven above
I give you this rose I give you my arms To run straight into Should this world show you harm
I give you this rose I give you my ears To forever listen To all of your fears
I give you this rose I give you my hand To help you whenever And however I can
I give you this rose I give you my respect too All this I'm giving, to show How much ' I LOVE YOU'
