soft gossamer envelops her sweet face,
as Father Time takes pity on my eyes.
She glides in measured steps, I still see grace,
a courtly masquerade, her droll disguise.
My lips bestow a kiss upon her hand,
we bow, our song we sing, the dance begins.
The looking glass reflects our steps so grand.
We glide with starlit steps and moonlit spins.
But Mother Nature brings her cross to bear,
yet we escape her grasp--we shan't be caught!
There's none can snatch me from my princess fair.
I'll fight 'til death! They'll wish they'd never fought.
A waltz adagio--our souls soar free
Our love transcends a mere eternity.
