Analysis of Betrothed
Spin your heart;
Sweet ember of mine;
To conquer me with love divine.
A sweet jewel of heaven;
We are deeply entwined;
Glowing of gold;
With the taste of sweet summer wine.

About this poem
I often enjoy what the 19th century Man wrote in the way of a love poem so I will write my own. Usually, they are somewhat flashy and filled with a large amount of emotion.
