1. I bid Paris farewell, though my heart remains there
With a girl whose beauty captivates

2. Her glances magnetically draw souls and eyes alike
Pearls shy from her smile

3. And branches blush should she glance their way
In his passion for her, the old becomes young again

4. And in her splendor, the tongue-tied grows eloquent
I like that she is frank, revealing what she hides within

5. Her face is a mirror of her heart’s contents
So everything about her is plain to see

6. For a time, I dwelt in her abode
After her, my heart knows no peace

7. Though Paris has many a beauty
This one outshines them all

8. Her image proclaims that He who shaped her
Was consummate in His craft

9. Louise is the divine light in His dominion
All who behold her become believers
