MY LADY'S PRETTY NAME, by CHARLES LOUIS HENRY WAGNER First Line: Sweetness is my lady's name Last Line: Love's celestial treasure. Subject(s): Honor; Names | ||||||||
"Sweetness" is my Lady's name, Tribute to her graces, Love she kindles into flame By her warm embraces; Sweet her smile, her laughing eyes, Sweeter still her kisses, And to me such name implies Love, and all its blisses. "Sweetness" is my Lady's name, Homage to her paying, Cheeks that blush rose-red, proclaim More than tongue is saying; Sweet her laugh, its liquid notes Fill my soul with pleasure, And to me such name denotes Love's celestial treasure. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MISSISSIPPI by E.
