© by Nick Peros (b. 1963)

O your hair is golden bright
Language: English 
O your hair is golden bright
Your smile is string of pearls in beauty sweet
Your eyes are pools of sky
Like stars of welcome dawn your radiance shines
Your arms are place of dreams whose embrace is known
    And tender to my heart
It soothes my soul 
I look up and see your eyes of diamond fire
And hear the wind that blows the sound 
     Of coolest rain refreshing my hope
         In love of dreams
O your hair is golden bright
Your smile is radiant joy for me to see
O your eyes are pools of sky 
like emerald tranquil dawn your radiance shines.
