Oh, ebony-scarlet Queen, why do you
taunt me so?
Your beauty makes the spring a wretch;
Your eyes
outshine the Moon.
Your voice makes the heavens sing;
Your
steps make the cool breeze blow.
Oh, wonderful Queen, why do you
taunt me so?
Your grace surpasses that of any;
Your manner
invokes the best impressions.
Your heart is warmer than the sun;
Your will to give stretches to all.
Oh, darling Queen, why do you taunt
me so?
Your laughter sets the world alive;
Your smile ignites
the stars.
Your happiness makes me smile;
Your delightful
presence is all I need.
Oh, beautiful Queen, why do you
taunt me so?
I see you almost anywhere I go,
But you do not
acknowledge me.
You may give a nod, or a small smile,
But it
does not fulfill my desire.
Oh, harlequin Queen, why do you
taunt me so?
You know I love you; that I always have.
You say
you love me too, but you're with him.
He smirks at me
every chance he gets;
I want to smite him as I know I can.
Oh, elusive Queen, why do you taunt
me so?
Can you not give a poor tom a chance?
To show you the
wonders his paw can create for you?
To show you love instead of
only infatuation?
To finally make claim you as his love?
Oh, ebony-scarlet Queen, why do you
taunt me so?
Your beauty gives the Moon delight,
Your smile
ignites the sun,
Your voice makes the birds all sing,
Your
presence enthralls my heart.
Oh, Jemima, why can't you be mine?
