Romeo's Vows
Fair Juliet, thou art
the sun which gives light to my day.Without thee I am in eternal
darkness,
Yet in thy company I am in a light bright enough
For
even the blind to see it.
Thou art as beautiful as heaven's
fairest angel and more still,
And thy voice rings as softly and
gently as a dove's.
For thee, gentle maiden, I am no longer
Romeo;
All I now wish to be is thy truest love.
It was by
chance that we did meet,
And I thank the stars for bringing us
together.
Let them burn brightly upon this, our forbidden
love,
For it is only in their light that I may be with thee,
They
face full of a dainty blush,
O blossoming rose, my lovely
Capulet.
Juliet's Vows
My dear Romeo, thou hast
taught me to love.
I never knew such a feeling until I met
thee.
Thou art a flower too handsome
For any other man to
compare to ít.
Thou hath a soft and gentle face,
One
unmarred by the sands of time.
When I see thee, inside of me
burns
A flame hotter and brighter than any I have ever known.
As
we now bind our souls together in holy ceremony,
Let us also
entwine our hearts forever.
Let our love grow stronger under our
familiesí hatred
Like coal becomes a diamond íneath
the earth.
Take my hand, and I am thine
Until the Earth no
longer spins, gentle Montague.
