'I love you once, I love you twice,
More than beans and rice.'
I love you now, I'll love you later,
More than wine and water.
I love your eyes, I love your hair,
More than the light and air.
Your shadow I love, I love your trace,
And love I do your smiling face.
I love you far, I love you near,
You are my life's sole souvenir.
In peace, in love, as much in war,
Is what the shield of my love is for.
I love you sick, I love you well,
More than vows and rings tell.
I love you true, I love you real,
Deeper than the urges we feel.
