How soft you are my love, on this spring night,
as soft as the rain on the grass, which nourishes it
and brings forth new growth.
How sweet you are this spring night my love,
as sweet as the scent of the new buds on the trees,
as it is carried by the breeze.
How lovely you are tonight my love,
as lovely as the sunset over the shore,
coloring both the sky and the sea
with hues of crimson, orange and pastel pink,
of purple, indigo and violet,
of green and vermillion
all arrayed in clouds above
and reflected below
with the brilliance of the sun
to brighten them all.
