REFINED REBECCA (730)
1. Rose of my sweet heart, I worship you,
2. Ethereal swan, I think of you day and night,
3. Fine emerald, I would swoon at your sight,
4. Ivory Calliope, I am sighing for you.
5. Naiad, without your love I am feeling blue,
6. Echo, I adore you with all my human might,
7. Divine, in heaven you will be my delight,
8. Red ruby, I am cutting my veins for you.
9. Even though I am now meaningless to you,
10. Bright pearl, I could be useful tomorrow,
11. Eburnean Venus, with you I will soon flee.
12. Chaste Diana, your holy, immaculate heart I see,
13. Candid Leda, please do not live in sorrow,
14. Aphrodite, in heaven I will forever marry thee.
Yours faithfully and eternally
