Shut thy eyes to imperfections
To ramblings and blemishes of the skin
To my own foolish thoughts that speak when lights are dimm’d
For I wish- oh! What a wish- I could be flawless
As the fish when it swims
Or the birds when they sing on your windowsill
For it is only such beauty
That could be loved by such a like
And I, my love, sweet love am nothing of the kind
Compare myself to the likes of you
I’m a haggard ol’ mutt
With boils and burns
I’m nothing as gold and treasured
Just a lover, old and weathered.
So I beg of thee
Shut thy eyes to imperfections
For I am not of the fairest, most gentlest, complexions.
