were i but the poorest poet be
were i but the poorest poet be
with what words would i not
attempt to paint a portrait of thee
the bountiful beauty of your lot
with what words would i try to trace
every delicate delightful detail
and form of your perfect fine fair face
yet i fear mere words would only fail
to yield a picture of your perfection
wanting words would not but flaw
and blemish your beauty upon reflection
worthless words would not begin to recall
what God created with such grace
your most immaculate and so beautiful face
