You want to requite my love;

You want to requite my love;

   You already have with a ring

And many years of life

   So this I command you to bring:

A bouquet of chocolate flowers -

   Each with a nice, dark button

Comparable to your eyes -

   And a fragrance as divine.

Put it together with care -

   Tape it inconspicuously -

Present it when I’m caught unawares

   And you have hours to give me.

Such a bouquet - bright and simple -

   As native as the mourning dove -

Would be a challenge worthwhile

   Your time and your love.
