`Trite' Arguments

To say "your hair is likened unto gold"...
Is much too obvious. There's need of more
Descriptive verbal vessels for to hold
The truth of thee, and these words, far too poor,
   Are but the glass that reflects nature's form.
   "Your fair countenance...with smile and laughter,
   Does, when matched with sparkled eyes, make forlorn
   Faces smile with overwhelmed glamor."
"Voice, melodious, which utters sweet words,
With sweeter meanings and sweetest affects
Is balanced `tween a silhouette and learned
Mind well seen and spoken of"...but for this.
   Accept these stanzas-ponderous to mean
   A simple thing..."Fair-beautiful are thee".
