Analysis of Can I?
Can I water your heart
A little while
With my love
For a little mile?
Can I feel your scent
A little longer
And your stunning eyes
In a little wonder?
Can I fancy you r blue eyes
And your pinkish face
Bridled with honour
And elegant lace?
Can I be allowed into your bed
And be a worth in your head?
Can I be a precious Nightingale
Blessed with nature's given tail?.
