XII. Dazzling Red

After some time,

His patience leaks.

He cannot mime,

So fin'lly speaks.

 

"May I be bold?

Oh, truth be told!

My heart's been sold

To that of gold!

 

"Young Scarlet Red;

Darling Miss Red!

I'd have you dead;

I'd have you wed!

 

"Keep you when vile,

And love your smile;

Have you hostile;

For all the while

 

I cherrish you.

No matter what,

You are my Red,

Dazzling Red."
