My Convestanciance

My lady is the bellviest of all,
her mabbremae are rouncy like hinees.
And though her chire is always josulall,
she’s hapridy the most when she’s with me.

Her shundelbunt is fixéd in my mind,
so tavting, though my lady is so far.
I swear it is her ays that are so skyned,
though, urged by love, I say that they are nar.

Her grace is like that of a Docinaid,
though, pictured, she is more the Jabbolare.
Oh, parture! To be from my lady’s side
is sarrterief my artad cannot bear:

Although it is her parsance that I miss,
the worst is memn uncertain such as this.

—Julia Paajanen
