1. The book arrived, a gracious messenger
Delivered to me, the finest guest I've met

2. Nothing more pleasurable than this gift
That fulfilled my every hope and wish

3. I opened it eagerly, tasting every word
Written by his hand that graced each page

4. I grasped its meaning, rejoicing with delight
At its flowing lines that thrilled my heart

5. Amazed was I by its eloquent phrases
Sublime, refined, exquisite and pure

6. Long had I yearned for such precious words
Matchless in form, beyond compare

7. Like a garden in bloom, alive with flowers
Their petals opened, watered, fresh with dew

8. As a necklace of pearls and gems entwined
Each link connected from end to end

9. A jewel raised high, beyond all price
Though a simple string, a treasure troved
