Were Thine That Special Face

PETRUCHIO:\nWere thine that special face\nThe face that fills my dreaming,\nWere thine the rhythm’d grace,\nWere thine the form so lithe and slender,\nWere thine the arms so warm, so tender,\nWere thine the kiss divine,\nWere thine the love for me,\nThe love which fills my dreaming,\nWhen all these charms are thine\nThen you’ll be mine, all mine.\nI wrote a poem\nIn classic style.\nI wrote it with my tongue in my cheek\nAnd my lips in a smile.\nBut of late my poem\nHas a meaning so new,\nFor to my surprise\nIt suddenly applies\nTo my darling--to you.\nWere thine that special face\nThe face that feels my dreaming,\nWere thine the rhythm’d grace,\nWere thine the form so lithe and slender,\nWere thine the arms so warm, so tender,\nWere thine the kiss divine,\nWere thine the love for me,\nThe love which fills my dreaming,\nWhen all these charms are thine\nThen you’ll be mine, all mine.\nWhen all these charms are thine\nThen you’ll be mine, all mine.
