I could compare you to wine,
But your eyes are brighter than wine,
Your embrace is so much warmer,
And you lift my spirits higher
Than any wine ever could.

I could compare you to wild flowers,
But your voice is sweeter than theirs,
Your smile much more endearing,
And you fill me with more joy
Than any flowers ever could.

I could compare you to the sea,
But your hair is wilder than waves,
Your dance more agile than wind,
And you take me to distant lands
That no sea could ever reach.

I could compare you to the moon,
But your skin is softer than hers,
Your curves far more enticing,
And you light the paths of love
Better than she ever could.
