Echoes of...My Jewelry Box Heart

I SENT MY BELOVED A MUSIC BOX;

PURCHASED WITH LOVE

AND WRAPPED WITH THE SAME;
CARRIED UNTO HER BY AN ETERNAL FLAME;

ITS HAUNTING MELODY

SOOTHED MY WANTING REVERIE;

FOR ‘TIS BEEN A SEASONE

SINCE I’VE SEEN MY BELOVED;

HER UNDAUNTING MEM’RY

EASED MY WANTING STEADILY

FOR ‘TIS COME A SEASON

WHEN I’LL SEE MY BELOVED;

I SENT MY BELOVED A MUSIC BOX;

OUTLINED WITH GOLD;

MADE OF WOOD SO STRONG;

WAITING TO PLAY HER

THIS SWEET AND BEAUTIFUL SONG…

-

I WISH TO HAVE A JEWEL

TO PLACE INSIDE MY

JEWELRY BOX HEART

A PRECIOUS JEWEL

THAT I WOULD CHERISH

AND ADMIRE FOREVER

I KNOW OF SUCH A JEWEL

I WISH TO HAVE FOR MY

JEWELRY BOX HEART

THE SIGHT OF THE JEWEL

MAKES MY JEWELRY BOX HEART

REJOICE

FOR I HAVE BEHELD

BEAUTY IN ITS TRUEST FORM

I SOMETIMES HEAR THE NAME

OF THE PRECIOUS JEWEL IN

MY DREAMS

HER NAME IS,

EXALTED BEAUTY;

SHE IS MORE PRECIOUS

THAN ALL THE RICHES

OF THE WORLD

AND ALL OTHER THINGS

I MAY DESIRE

ARE NOT TO BE

COMPARED TO HER

I DREAM OF THE DAY

WHEN THE JEWEL WILL LET ME

LOVE AND CARE FOR HER

MY JEWELRY BOX HEART

WOULD PROTECT HER

YET ALLOW HER TO SHINE

FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE

THE MYSTERIES OF

THIS GENTLE JEWEL ARE MANY

ALTHOUGH WITH EVERY SPARKLE,

SHINE OR GLIMMER

MY JEWELRY BOX HEART

DISCOVERS ANOTHER REASON WHY

I LOVE HER

THOUGH I MAY NOT HAVE

THIS PRECIOUS JEWEL NOW

SHE WILL EVER BE

THE TREASURE OF MY DREAMS

PERHAPS ONE DAY

THE JEWEL AND

MY JEWELRY BOX HEART

WILL BE ONE

AND THEN

WILL I SING

TO MY WELL BELOVED

A SONG OF MY BELOVED

I WISH I HAD A PRECIOUS JEWEL

IN MY JEWELRY BOX HEART…

-

I SENT MY BELOVED A MUSIC BOX;
CRAFTED FROM LOVE

AND ETCHED WITH HER NAME;

IN HOPES TO CHEER HER

WITH ITS WONDERFUL FRAME;

ITS LOVELY MELODY

I PRAY SHALL BE REMEDY;

FOR ‘TIS BEEN A SEASON

SINCE WE’VE SEEN ONE ANOTHER;

HER LOVELY IMAGERY

WILL FOREVER BE WITH ME;
FOR ‘TIS A SHORT SEASON

'TILL WE’LL SEE ONE ANOTHER;

I SENT MY BELOVED A MUSIC BOX;

ADORNED WITH LOVE

AND BONDED SO STRONG;

WAITING TO PLAY HER

A SWEET AND ETERNAL SONG…
